I am running a 2.8ghz (single core) with 2 gigs of ram on an Asus P4c800E motherboard for editing video. I currently have a 550w psu installed which has been ample power while editing. I recently upgraded my system drive to a 10,000rpm drive and added 5 more hard drives. This gives me a total of 8 hard drives (4 ide and 4 sata), 2 DVD burners and 6 fans for cooling. Since adding all of those hard drives, should I get a bigger power supply? It seems to run fine right now but I had to use several splitters to connect all of those drives.

Thanks -

Chris
 
Looks just like how my setup is (used to be).
I was running for years with 6 hard drives (2 SCSI Seagate Cheetahs 10K rpm) and 2 IDE and 2 SATA drives.running fine with my Antec 380watt PSU.
I upgraded to an Antec 450 watt when I sold the 380 and switched to 4 Sata and 4 IDE drives, ran fine like that.
I just upgraded to an Antec 550 since I sold the 450 and I haven't had any issues with power at all.
