What's that? A MP3 car player? A water cooling kit front end? No, it's the LCD information gadget included in AcBel's Digital Power Supply.
If you thought it would stop with modular cabling or out-of-the-case AC/DC conversion, think again. The last innovation to attract buyer's attention (and money) has nothing to do with cooling or efficiency, it doesn't even only refer to the aesthetic quality of the product.
In times like ours, were information it's everything, it was odd to have a PC component that provided no monitoring tools. But now you can watch wattage, fan speed or temperature... among other things. Wonder what's causing that inestability? Check the ripple. Want to know if you can increase CPU voltage? See how many amps does already need it's rail.
This is one of those things that, once you have it, you can't go back to the way it was before.
