Hello all, Sorry for the OT thing. I'm helping a friend setting up a new box. It's a Pentium 4 with 430Watt power supply. He wants to plugin his old harddrives and DVD into the new box. The total will be: 3 harddrives, 1 DVD drive, 1 CDRW drive. In the box there are also 2 big fans. Is 430Watt enough?

I ran for many years a amd 2600+ box with 2xhdd's 3 optical drives, neon on the case a couple of fans, 1gb ram and a couple of pci cards and i used a 350watt power supply for it I had another athlon64 3000+ system with 6 sata drives and 3 pci cards 1gb ram and two fans that used a 350watt power supply also Dennis
