Hey all.

Im planning on moving my PCI Raid setup from one rig to another and was wondering if my psu would handle the extra load.

My System Spec is:
Pentium M 1.73ghz @ 2.6ghz
2GB MEM
Asus P4C800Deluxe-E
160gb Samsung SpinPoint IDE HDD
16x DVDRW Drive
Asus HD3650 Radion 512MB

This is all running on a 380Watt Antec True Power PSU.

Do you think there is enough head room to add 2x500GB Seagate 10.x drives
and 2x200GB old WD drives in there?

I could survive with the seagates but just want to know what i can get in there with my current psu :D

Any ideas?


Many thanks.

380w is more than enough. You have a low watt CPU and a low watt GPU.

In my old AGP rig I had the same mobo, 2gb ram, 2.8GHz P4 @3.35GHz, 7900GS, 3x SATA HDD's, 2x DVDRW's, TV card, sound card and a hell of a lot of USB ports used on some old Nexus 400W PSU. I am sure HDD's use little power anyway.
