I know I saw a post in here that linked to a site to help you figure your power requirements but I'll be danged if I can find it now.
Currently I have a Vantec 400w Ion running these components:
ASUS P4PE mobo
3-40Gb HDDs (in IDE, one of them on the onboard controller)
1-DVD ROM
1-CD-RW
1-Floppy
3-90mm fans
1-120mm fan
1-80mm fan
56K modem
Leadtek GF4 ti4400
plus the usual USB printer, onboard soundcard, and a joystick.
What I'm going to add to this is another optical drive (DVD burner), another 40Gb HDD, and a PCI-IDE controller to hook them to. I'm thinking I may have to get an additional PSU to power some of this stuff. I've got a few old ones (200w?) lying around and I'm hoping I can hotwire one of these in. But I'd like to do some calculations and see what should be hooked up where.
Any ideas?
