I wanted to do some upgrading today, perhaps on a graphics card. I have a Shuttle XPC that's about 2.5 years old. I wondered if there was a way to identify the brand and wattage of the psu without removing the case cover? I looked in System Information and also tried using Everest Home, but I didn't see it in either.:unsure:

i heard from another forum, a long while ago that, you test the power of it with your tongue while the power is running. If its zaps alittle that its around 200-300w , if it zaps like whole shit, then then it should be around 480-500w atleast....

Shuttles don't need a lot of power with their small motherboards. I suppose high-end parts would make things difficult.
