I have an extra Sonata case w/ 380W PSU and had been thinking put it in use as an enclosure for gateway, file server (RAID) and firewall, possibly using clarkconnect.
By using the eXtreme calculator http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculator.jsp, it seems PSU will be sufficient for 4 7200RPM SATA drives. I'm mostly concerned about the case becoming too hot (4 SATA, maybe 1 or 2 PATA, at least one optical drive).
Any input on this is welcome
