    Hey guys. Quick question here. If I'm running 4x 2TB Western Digital Green drives, 1x OCZ Agility 3 60Gb SSD, and a GT430 card, would a 350W PSU be powerful enough to run all of this?

    Assuming your CPU isn't crazy, a good 350W PSU should be fine for that.

    My guess would be some Molex -> SATA converters. I use them often enough on computers with lots of drives and not lots of connectors.

    For the CPU, I'll just be using an Athlon X2, so that won't be a problem.
    And I won't need the SATA connectors on the PSU, really because I'll just use the 90 degree inline connectors and just attach them to whatever cables are already on the PSU. Thanks guys.
