Finally installed my scope pro into my computer along with a pulsar2 and it's superb!! 21 dsps and total freedom 
At present all five pci slots in the motherboard are allocated and also the agp and I think the PSU is feeling the strain as every now and then I hear the fan kick into action.
I haven't opened the comp up yet to check the wattage but I think it's around 350-400w although on the back it's rated at 2.3A 230v which works out to be over 500w (but then i guess that doesn't acount for losses).
Anyway I've seen psu rated at 500-600w with two sometimes three fans but tyhen I think these might be to noisy so I was considering a non fan type supply but then this would only leave the fan above the cpu and with no more pci slots to fit fans I'm worried about the temps inside.
