Hi Harlen,
Here is a site that has a calculator to determine PS size.
http://www.pcpowercooling.com/products/power_supplies/selector/index.htm
According to them, you would need a 400W PS for your set up. I run a
Turbo-Cool 350 in my machine with 2 10,000 and 1 7200 rpm SCSI drives. Don't
have all the CD drives that you do though.

How to tell how much Power Supply a system needs? I've recently upgraded my
system and am wondering if I have the power needed to run everything ok. My
system now:
250 watt ATX power supply
Pentium 3 450MHz
128MB PC-100 Ram
Western Digital 20.1GB HD DMA/66 5400rpm
Western Digital 6.4GB HD DMA/33 5400rpm
Iwill DMA/66 Controller (for next two drives)
Western Digital 20.1GB HD DMA/66 7200rpm
Western Digital 4.3GB HD DMA/33 5400rpm
Mitsumi 24x CDrom reader
Mitsumi 2801TE CD-r
ATi All-in-Wonder Pro Video
Sound Blaster AWE-64 Sound
3.5' Floppy Drive
56K WinModem
Diamond Homefree Telephone Network card
Is there any formula for figuring out how much a system needs for power?
Thanx in Advance
