I am currently assembling, but I have space for a second PSU.

System:
Enermax Rev 1050w
920 I7 OC 3.6-4.2 ghz
12 Gigs of Ram
10-15 High Performance Sata Hardrives
4870x2 Times 2 Quadfire
or
2 Geforce 295's Quad SLI
3 MCP355 Pumps
20-30 fans + many many fan controllers :)
A couple Cold Cathodes,

Guys think Ill be getting pretty close to or maxing out the Rev? Should I add another Rev perhaps a the 850 Watt one? Seems they have good efficiency even on a low Load.

I have space for another PSU.
 
It's enough if you use a staggered spinup for those hard drives. That would be my only concern. All the other components alone are well within the PSU's capability.
 
That's quite a number of hard drives... How do you fit them all?

Is there a setting to do that? I mean I don't need all 15 running all them time. Heh :).

I have a Lian Li PC-343B, it has 18 5.25 bays. Aside from that I also use Hot Swap Bays, so 3 5.25's = 5 Vertical mounted drives :).

That would be a feature of your drive controller card.

I see, well my Mobo can handle 10 HDD's by itself, but I supose I should get a Raid Card anyhow, integrated tends to suck heh, those darn things (raid cards) are so expensive though :eek:.
 
To be honest, I would recommend setting up a dedicated server if you want to run such a large number of HDs.
