Oh dear after installin my two SATA 160's on the RAID ATA to acompany the other 6 drives,
DVD rewriter, Dual core CPU, Motherboard, 2GB ram, Twin GFX cards I've had nothing but sytem crashes and reboots  Damnit gonna have to get another PSU, my Thermaltake 560 aint cutting it for some reason! Wheres that power calculator? I'm sure someone made it a sticky cant find it tho. Gonna have to check i think **EDIT no matter I found it OK just done calculation firstly it came out at recommended PSU 560 which is what I have, however I forgot to add USB peripherals. It now comes to 576w Oh well disconnection of a drive it will have to be "Parent's are the bone's on which their children sharpen their teeth" Never be afraid to do your best work and let the world enjoy it. Never let someone tell you not to try something because it's stupid. Turn off the recommended settings. Break your computer and learn to fix it.

I would always add another 100W to the total to give you some headroom TD - but of course as Mucks always says its not just the total wattage you need to look at - its the ability to stabily maintain the correct voltages on the respective rails, something that really only good makes can be relied upon.
Don't know which calculator you found - but for others info the one I think that was stickied was http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculator.jsp
