I have a 400w Antic ps. My current set up is as follows 2 optical drives, three hard drives, two sata, one ide, a floppy, and many fans. I also have hd coolers on my three drives. My 9800pro also has the 12v plug in. (7 80mm, and a front bay fan controller)
Two of my case fans plug into the mb, four of the case fans plug into the fan controller. The hd coolers are molex.
I am wondering how many more hard drives could I add. I dont have problems right now, but I am wondering if I add another ide hd, will I be reaching the limits of this ps? How much more can I add to my system? Does a sata drive use less/more power than a ide?
