Title: PC's PSU

Hi!

Is there a way to digitally trace your PSU's watt power without opening your computer? If not, where would the numbers be shown on the hardware?

Bye!

Oh, this thread isn't about the PC version of Phantasy Star Universe?! :(

Just open up the side of the case; all the info you need should be right on the power supply(which is, like, the easiest thing to find inside of that thing).

I don't know what brand of power supply you have, but on Antec's, it's usually on a
sticker on the left side of the PSU with the rear fan facing away from you, and the other
fan facing down.

NOTE: You have an advertised wattage (on this 430W) and if you study the sticker,
you'll see a "max load rating", which is lower (410W on this one, from what I can tell).

Now, this is Antecs, I don't know if other supplies are the same.

The supply's instruction manual should also tell you. Bear in mind that these are ratings-
you might get less (or more) actual wattage if you were to measure.
