What is the total power consumption of the system when in use?

How often do packets get dropped? Have you given it a try with quake or counterstrike?

It's 100-140W.

Mine is averaging about 0.5% packet loss over a 3 hour period. There will be very brief periods of slightly higher loss. I don't play a lot of fps but most realtime lag, loss and jitter sensitive applications work just fine.
