I plan on using some old laptop parts to build a Mini-ITX WHS machine. Only parts I will be ordering for this are the case, mobo and some extra hard drives.

Case

I haven't picked out the hard drives yet for the 4xSata bays, but they will probably be lower power green drives. The case comes with a 180W PSU, which is what i'm concerned about. To boot, the PSU is an external adapter and plugs in through a 4pin DIN in the pack which means I can't upgrade or buy a beefier one.
Would this be enough to power the system?
Cliffs:
Any issues with the inlcuded 180W PSU powering:
t7500 35W
4x1TB WD green drives
2gb RAM (SODIMMS if it matters)
1xSSD boot drive
Optical Drive
