Required Power

[nsxdemon]

I saw a couple of posts about what power would be needed for certain rigs, so I decided to throw my situation up as well. I've got most of the following components for a new server rig (for divx and MP3's):

Intel D850GB motherboard
Intel 1.4 GHz P4 (yea yea, don't laugh, I'm working on changing this whole old P4 chipset thing)
4 x 128MB PC800 RDRAM
Visiontek GeForce4 TI4600
1 x Maxtor 10K III 36GB
4 x WD1200BB 120GB 7200 RPM hard drives
2 x Maxtor D540X 160GB 5400 RPM hard drives
Promise SX6000 IDE RAID Controller
Adaptec 29160 SCSI Controller
PCI NIC Card
OnStream SC50 25/50GB Tape Drive
52X CD-ROM
16x10x40 Yamaha CDRW
12X DVD-ROM
250MB Zip Drive
1.44MB Floppy

Do I need the biggest power supply possible for this setup? Something like Enermax's 550W PSU? I don't know how many of you will suggest redundant power supplies but my case (YY-0221) won't fit a redundant unit, just standard ones.
Cheers,
nsx

A decent brand (Antec, Enermax, Sparkle) of 300-watt or better flavor will work fine.

- Seriously - I've done 6 hard drives (SCSI, 10K or better) many PCI cards, bla bla bla with -NO- problems with 250-watt supplies.

Once i moved into that AMD world, XP1800+ or better, I needed a bit more.
