[QUOTE="goodolebwinches, post: 6829"] A retailer has a 160GB hard drive on sale for $99 after rebates. I already have three hard drives, but would like to add another for video since the price is so low right now. My question is: Is the power supply in the Powermac G4(Gigabit Ethernet/Dual 450mhz) sufficient to power more than three hard drives? I don't know whether any of my upgrades need to be taken into consideration for power consumption, but here is a list anyway: Powerlogix Dual 1ghz processor card 2 additional hard drives(3 drives total) 8500 Radeon Mac Edition graphics card M-Audio Revolution sound card Sonnet Tech Tempo Trio PCI card 1GB RAM (4x256mb modules) The machine runs fine now, but would a forth drive be too much for the power supply? Thanks, Brian [/QUOTE]
