no, but i do know that a good quality name brand(like antec) 450-500watt is sufficient. if it's a no-name supply(not recommended)the at least 550-600watts should do. bigger is better in this case, so i'd get as big of a supply as you reasonably can afford.
i have seen 1st quality supplies of 250watts out perform 500watt cheapies, so quality is certainly at least as big of an issue.

There was some info about this in the old creamware site. but now it seems to be gone. I'm sorry not able to recall the exact power requirement. But it was at least 15W for 6dsp card. There are some limits what a pci slot can deliver. If I remember right, that is 25W.
Perhaps someone knows the exact numbers.

As to what PSU to choose, take a 450 or larger one.
If you need exact data, CW knows....

from my old scope srb technical specs,
the power comsumption is 15 w.

djmicron, 6W per chip would be more like it. 6W is also about what a normal consumer's soundcard uses...
Check this calculator:

Check out OCZ Powerstream if you are going to be using multiple HDD's. I use a little 865PERL w/ 3.4EE Northwood, and 3 x Raptors. You can adjust your rails on the PSU to suit your consumption needs.
