To address the questions you had:

PSU: Our current PSU is powerful enough for most configurations. We tested it in a system with Pentium D840 and ATI X1900XT VGA board. This system draws max. 215 Watts from the PSU. We tested with synthetic benchmarks as well as the 3D Mark 2005. Just recently we wanted to make sure to have enough margin (power wise) for our system we show at the Computex. Our PSU passed loads of up to 450 Watts continuously and 23 Amp. at 12V. Probably a lot of "500 Watt" PSU had failed these tests. There will be just very few configurations that are not working with our PSU (e.g. quad SLI). Further it offers a Power Factor Correction (PFC ) value of 99%. This assures that you just pay the real consumption because apparent and real power are practically the same. A high efficiency of over 75% also shows that we are not talking about a cheap PSU.

It is correct that we just offer a 20 Pin mainboard and a 4 pin CPU power plug. But there is no mainboard that doesn't work without our PSU. No adapter must be used, 4 pins of the socket will keep empty.
