28,000,000 watts

That's usually written as 28MW. I know some Americans don't like metric much, but one of the points of metric is that you don't ever need to write that many zeroes - you just need to use the right prefix (kilo, mega, giga, tera, etc) on the unit.

True, but 28 million watts really puts things in perspective when your average PSU is less than 1000w.

Exactly. This is literally a PC gamer article. Writing it out like that really puts it into perspective for the average reader.
