so.. nzxt made a power supply that lets you monitor wattage on the 12 volt rail...

which IMO is the least interesting rail to monitor. 

two facts about the 12 volt rail:

- you expect the voltage to be rock solid in any decent power supply.

- its available wattage suffices, because its the decisive factor in choosing a power supply.

 

here's more intreresting stuff to monitor:

- the 5 volt rail power draw (because USB)

- the input voltage

- stability of input power

- input wattage ('from the wall')

- power consumption figures over time

- those figures combined with a configurable dollar amount.

 

if nzxt can give me that i'll bother, otherwise no thanks.

    Exactly that. That replaces the need for a smart UPS, and the data collected is nice, and combined. Also, I love data, so that'd just be amazing. Data is amazing.
