Australian Law to enforce 80+ Silver or better

New laws in Australia are set to enforce 80plus silver or better power supplies on all new PCs being sold as of October this year. Hopefully, this will weed out most cheap and nasty $30 PSUs.

They should limit PC buying before they require super-efficient PSUs. This isn't going to do anything to discourage manufacturers from using Fuhjyyu, anyway. :P
Information is far more fragile than the HDDs it's stored on. Being an afterthought is no excuse for a bad product.
