Am I pushing this power supply too far?

I have a Shuttle SB65G2, which as you know has a 22w power supply.

I have changed my mid about what I was planning to do with it.

Now I'm looking at the following:

P4C - 2400mhz w/H-T (on 800mhz FSB)
1024m PC3200 memory
Matrox Millenium G450 Dual Head video card
Basic Compusa 5.1 soundcard
Plextor optical drive
WD Raptor 36gb SATA

Now, I really don't think I will have any issues with what I have listed so far.
The video card is a nice one, but not a huge energy gobbler like a high end Nvidia or ATI and the other items are just filling the factory spots, meaning that I presume Shuttle assumed youd run a setup similar to that.

Here's the question though...

I was thinking about using TWO of those raptors, which I already own, instead of one raptor and one floppy. I'll just have a floppy hooked up temporarily during setup so that I can FDISK the hard drives and format them.

Would TWO Raptor hard drives, in addition to the other stuff be pushing it too far on that 220W power supply?
