Google is calling on the computer industry to create a simpler and more efficient power supply standard.
i read the article they want to have all internal pc components run off 12v directly (instead of a mix of existing 5v and 12v rails) to allow for more efficient power supplies.. that would be cool

Right now I have a caviar 300 gig in there looks pretty good for noise and power.
and in sort or related news..
