No ... it means that the PSU can supply 235w as a maximum sustained current. For short periods it can supply more. If your HA PC isn't stuffed full of drives, fans and other goodies then it'll be drawing maybe a third of that.

Subject: [ukha_d] Slightly OT: PC Power Supply & UPS

I'm just pondering the possibility of getting a small UPS for my soon-to-be HA PC and I'm trying to figure out how much run-time I'll get off one. How much power does a PC usualy use? I have a 235W power supply - does that mean that the machine is literally using 235W? Does anyone have an answer to this?
 
Thanks,
 
Oliver.
