Power Supply Question: Celeron 300 -> 450

I was wondering what size power supply you think I would need for the following:

3 Hard Drives (Maxtor 5400, Maxtor 7200, Maxtor 7200)
3 CD-ROM Drives (1 CDRW, 1 DVDR, 1 DVD)
Floppy
Celeron 300a -> 450
Abit BH6
Voodoo 3
10/100 NIC
SB Live


Edited to reflect other hardware, if it matters...
 
Considering 200-230 watt was fine for a 450 MHz + 1-2 CD + 1-2 HD, I'd guess 230 watt minimum and 300 watt should be more than enough.
 
Thanks for the quick reply. I currently have a 300 watt PowerMan ps that came with my Inwin Case. Would this be ok? I know not all powersupplies are created equal...
 
In the Inwin case i have now it had a Powerman 230w, i ran a celeron 366@550 fine. That will be more than enough.
 
One other quick question, which would be the best setup with the hard drives/cdrom drives? Meaning, would it matter which should be connected to the motherboard IDE controller vs the PCI IDE controller?
