I suspect his computer power supply was not as advertised so he is unable to develop sufficient power to make another post
For a fun look at horsepower, take a look from the late 1960s into the earliest years of the 1970s when SAE starting rating HP using the engine installed in the vehicle with all standard driven accessory items, exhaust system, etc. instead of the gross HP which was the bare engine on a stand. Some manufacturers advertised dual ratings for a couple of years and car/truck engines with a gross HP in the 300+ range were making only slightly over 200 HP in operational form. For example the hottest engine in a 1971 Corvette was a 454 rated at 425 HP however the SAE net rating was 325 HP while the base 350 CID engine was 270 gross/210 net.
The electronics industry was even worse with the low end manufacturers rating their audio gear using the IPP (instantaneous peak power) method. Basically output was measured with a scope with the preamp gain set to max and a transient event was created (typically dropping the tonearm on a record). The scope captured the peak which sometimes was the last sound that particular unit ever made. It wildly overstated the practical audio output capability which was often around 1/10th of IPP power.
