This whole green crap got it's start with Al Gore and the UN liars who were taking the whole planet for a ride to get rich and get control over you. Al Gore and the kooks on the left are modern day Druids if you think about it.
It has been proved they were wrong. Now as far as polluting like China is doing, they are already suffering for it and will soon wake up.

Milton, if two power supplies are both made in China then their manufacturer will have caused about the same amount of environemntal damage, but the power supply that uses less power will cause less environmental damage in the future.

Surely you can understand?

This article is filler, also known as fluff. It doesn't even present proper benchmarks.

All it really does is mention the names of a number of pricey products. So it may also be a paid commercial.

Do not take this article seriously.

Why run expensive CPUs hot, with bulky heat-pipe air heatsinks, which also get in your way?

Get a couple of the excellent value, ready-assembled "Corsair H50-1 High-Performance CPU Watercoolers", they cool even better than massive heatpipe tower heatsinks!

You can also get some very nice Lian-Li cases which put that cheap case to sham.

@milton: green washing is a wonderful thing. It's also brought us such wonderful things as "clean coal".

In this case (i'm just guessing here i can't read the label in the picture) it looks like an ordinary 80 Plus certified PSU. Nothing fancy about it at all. afaik, Xigmatek doesn't even make an 80 Plus silver supply. I'm puzzled why an 80+ Gold/Platinum supply wasn't used. Seasonic, CWT, and others have Gold models easily available. Platinum models are a bit harder to find but are still available. Seriously, you're spending what? like $2400US on the CPUs but throwing in a $100 supply???

Oh, and the $40 case, real classy as well. Sure it's a mid-tower case, but you're making a workstation. Try a NXZT Whisper case, and some RAID 0 or 5 love. Make it quiet and reliable. Sure what you've built is cheap, but it seems you're forgetting the actual purpose of the computer.

On another note, why on earth would you want a GTX480 based card in your computer, or any computer for that matter if you're trying to use less power? The thing is a bloody hair dryer.

I always laugh when I see "green" computer components made in China. Why is being labeled as "green"? Because it consumes a paltry few watts less then a competing model? You might not see it as being so green, when you realize it's made in China, like nearly all computer components these days. China has little to no environmental regulation, which means the manufacturer of this "green" power supply is dumping huge amounts of toxic chemicals and other waste into open waterways and into the ocean. All in order to bring you this "green" power supply. Green indeed.
