    Yeah, they've got one.  Unfortunately, it's always out of date, and horribly inaccurate. 

    Say, maybe if us Eggxperts help them, we can get it accurate and up to date.  Any mods know if we could do that?

    They should just ride of PSU Lite like Antec does.

    The superb PSU Lite that Penewab linked to.  If that is too hard for you then use this chart.  If you are using onboard graphics go with a 300W PSU of 1st or 2nd tier.
