How did you came up with that 500W figure ?
Most ventirad of cpu are about 100 to 150W, and when rendering the
graphic card is nearly idle, so even with a disk and some memory chips,
the global power would be about 200W when rendering, even with a 80%
efficient PSU. (you do not have to keep the screen on during the render).
