Hi everyone, I had a question in regards to what the best fit PSU for my situation would be. I'm currently using a Antec TRUEPOWERII TPII-550 550W PSU for my computer, which only has 3 HDD connectors. What would be the best way to get power to 5 or more HDDs, keeping in mind my system specs:

GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3R LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX
C2D 6420 @ 3.2 w/Tuniq Tower
ASUS 512MB Radeon 4850 (currently @ stock clocks)
4 GB Crucial Ballistix (4x1) DDR2 800
1XOptical DVDRW Drive
3XSATA HDDs (150, 250, and 500GB @ 7200RPM) currently in use
1XSATA HDD (640GB) sitting around waiting for use
Looking to purchase additional 1TB/1.5TB drive

Everything is rock stable on my current PSU, it just lacks the connections to power 2 additional HDDs.

Thanks again for your help!
