computers, heat, personal realization 

I didn't realize how much heat comes from computers.

I thought most of my 650w would go into processing... although gosh maybe it does and I'm highly under estimating the watt.

you hear a watt...or joule I forget which is the amount of energy to do Xyz... but it's honestly rather unintuitive.

@LottieVixen every single of those watts becomes heat

@LottieVixen though if you have a 650 W power supply that doesn't mean your computer is drawing 650 W all the time or even under full load, more like 250 W maybe? and under full load you're still supposed to have like 50-100 W to spare
