All this bickering is missing the overall point:

The era of mainstream desktop PCs draining huge amounts of electricity
is over. The expectation is that we now use power efficient PCs, whether
we like it or not.

If only the graphics card vendors would make usable high end graphics
cards that don't require 550W all by itself, and 850W power supplies for
the whole system.

Power efficient electronics have been the norm for awhile, and power
efficiency is a huge deal in laptop PCs and servers (and has been for a
VERY long time). Its only just now caught up to the desktop PC market.
