I didn't see anything like this under the sticky under "Accurately calculating power draw and PSU requirements."
I asked on the Yahoo forum a few weeks ago about if there was something I could download to calculate the wattage being used without opening up my case and writing down everything that I don't still have the original box and manual for. One person answered and just said "In doubt, get a more powerful psu." Not exactly the answer I was looking for. Two conclusion: 1, Yahoo Answers is not the place for questions; 2, Do your own research sometimes.
I found this website (link below) today and now I know. I think this would be helpful for anyone looking to see if they are drawing too much power than their psu can handle, which of course will cause problems.
Maybe something like this should be put in the stickies?

Hope this helps anyone looking for this kind of answer now and in the future.
