My 75GXP was starting to get me worried so I picked up an extra WD drive as my primary. With the two drives working, though, I'd get random outages of my USB peripherals. If I restart the computer, the devices will stop working after a minute or so and I have to restart again. If I unplugged one of the hard drives, then all the devices work ok - no problems. At first I thought that it was a problem with insufficient power, so I buy a new antec case and 430watt ps to replace my 300watt AOPEN ps. But I'm still having the same exact problem. Anyone know what's going on?

What do you mean by the voltage settings? Are you talking about the switch on the power supply that switches between 115 (US) and 220 (Europe)? If so, mine is correct - set for 115. Otherwise all my stuff would be in flames right now ;)
