I have a Antec 350w SmartPower running

ECH K7VTA3/KT333 with AMD Athlon 2400+
ATI RADEON 8500
WESTERN DIGITAL 80gig
MAXTOR 120gig
MAXTOR 160gig
PIONEER DVD-ROM
NEC 3500A DVD +/- RW
2 80mm Fans
PCI RAID card
SOUND BLASTER LIVE
384megs PC2700 DDR RAM

Going to add
ADAPTEC 29160LP SCSI Controller
Quantum Atlas 10K II 18.4 10K Ultra 160 SCSI Hard Drive

Future upgrade (Eventually)
another 512megs of ram (would bring the total to 896megs of ram)

I had a power supply smoke and take out my motherboard, CPU, Hard Drive and a DVD-ROM once and I really want to avoid that happening again. Before i put in the new parts, i want to know if my current power supply will be suffiicent. Thanks

but i have to ask why you are adding a SCSI HDD and controller card to that, im guessing your gonna put windows on it to speed it up, but thats kinda silly IMO

Yea your right, im gonna put windows on it. I guess the only reason I am adding SCSI is becaues i was extremly cheap ($45 for both card and hard drive)
