second CD/DVD writer

[Mistral]

I plan add second CD/DVD writer. Power supply is 300W. Is it enough for two
DVD writers? (PC is win XP home/ Cel 2.6Ghz)

thanks

marginal, depends on what else is installed...RAM, cooling
fans, graphics card, number of hard drives and RAM.

Just punching it in with two drives you are at about 250-275. You could
try it, but if startup/bootup acts flaky, you are underpowered.
