RE: question on PSUs

The question seems to be total power needs. Since you've moved the motors to another supply, the battery would be running the CPU, RAM, mobo, soundcard, right?

Correct. Total power would be ~30watts (underclocked E2140 CPU @17, RAM @5.4, mobo+s/card @8). RAM power consumption based on Kingston HyperX range with 5.4 watts reported in SiSoft's Sandra Memory Bandwidth Benchmark test. I haven't actually measured total consumption which could be less (as most devices like onboard sound, LAN etc. are disabled thus consuming less power). If someone has the XG Magnum 500 PSU, the power reading on its display would be the correct consumption.

But for a fast CPU to run Secret Rabbit Code...

No problem here. I run SRC at 96k and CPU remains underclocked. Vcc remains at 1.16V (giving 1200MHz) so no additional power load here.
