enough power and cooling?

[Azlano]

Right now I run my curretn DFI lanparty with AMD 4400, 2GB ram, twp dvd drives, ASUS 7800 GTX PCIe card, 400GB IDE HDD and 84 GB SATA drive with my Antec NeoPower 480 and have temperatures around 30-35. This is in a Antec P160W case.

I am getting ready to remove the two hard drives and add 4 250GB Samsung SATA 300 drives at raid 0.

Do I have enough power and cooling to support this right now?



Thanks for the help.

cooling, i would say no, ur putting in 4 HDD's get the Plus View from antec or the TX1050AMG or TX1088AMG, both come with PSU's though, best bet would be to first get a bigger case, a P150 would be fine too sinc eit has 2 92mm's that cool the HDD area, ur PSU should be able to support it, then again u can run HDD's w/o active cooling, i do i got 2 seagate Barracudas (ATA)

As far as cooling goes you should be fine. I don't know that case real well but really just make sure you have a fan blowing over/ through the hdds )although you may not even need that). From my experience not even my raptor heats up very much in normal use. Just make sure you keep some air flowing through the case and you should be fine. Power wise you should have no problems either, although no guarantees there as that psu could be a little more powerful considering your system.
