In my Public Profile> System Spec there is a field for "PSU". Does PSU stand for Portable Storage Unit? Or does it stand for something else?

Thanks for any help.

It stands for Power Supply Unit... Which is installed inside the PC Case that power up everything.. for example if you have ASUS 500W Power Supply so you can fill it in the PSU field :)
