how safe is it to say put 3 HDDs on one psu wire or 3 HDDs and 1 dvd-writer. the psu in question is a hiper 580W. I had planned on daisy chaining some connections so I could connect 3 HDDs and 1 dvd-writer from 1 psu connection, to help manage my cables. my friend said this could blow the psu, is this so? on the psu aswell are:
opteron 146 @ 2.7 @ stock volts
2gb ballistix @ 2.8v
1 laing dcc pump
6800 agp card
3x 120mm fans
1 or 2 x 80mm fans

thanks

just to double check that this is ok:

wire from psu -> dvd-writer -> 30gb hdd -> 120gb hdd -> 30gb hdd
wire from psu -> 6800
wire from psu -> pump
wire from psu -> fan controller with 4x fans

thanks
