It is common for people on ebay to save on fees by not paying for an auction+buy it now, but just paying for the auction and then ending the auction for anyone that is willing to shell out the $$$ for the bin price. Judging by the fact that the auction had a $1250 bin in the listing, I am pretty sure what happened.

400W isn't actually too much for today's PC's, and PS3, with it's graphic and speed capabilities is in ballpark. Here I have an old, p1 server with 350W supply, 2x larger than noraml ATX, with active PFC and ability to give 50amps at 5V line O_O But I'l rather open another thread if anyone is interested.
Regarding loudness, it's not necessay. Thing may have a lot of fans but if they aren't trash quality the worst that can happen is that it sounds just like a normal PC.

I did a test a few years ago now, of power consumption over time for booting up a pretty bog-standard sempron 2300 system, and running the cpu up to 100%. I was quite impressed by how low it actually was:

"Btw, according to Sony the PS3 draws around 400W. You can imagine how loud this is going to be?" On average it's going to be pretty near silent because it will be waiting for the the user's lap to cool down. Mind you, that's just common sense...
