    calculating wattage usage by psu

    Actually I thought the OP attempt at calculating the wattage required from PSU's was OK, gives you an idea of what size PSU you might need.... Your comment on cheaper PSU's is irrelevant to his post. If you want to discuss cheap PSU's to quality PSU's then why don't you put a list which is...

    good question about digital audio.....

    Both the HDMI and the optical cable will give the same results but if you are using an existing on board motherboard sound then the creative pci-e sound card will definitely give you more quality sound enhancements/features.

    Custom Homemade "Ducted Fan HDD Coolers"

    I usually mount a fan at the bottom front of the case to push air over hard drives and motherboard, good air flow usually keeps the hard drives reasonably moderate in temperature range....never had a hard drive get to hot to burn you. Hard drives are a resilient piece of equipment to heat.
