PSU and SATA woes

[morpheus2963]

I am currently modding a Thermaltake VA8000 Series case (havent decided on cooling yet between liquid and vapor phase change) with an Asus A8N - SLI Deluxe mobo (pre-Ordered shipping sometime in June so No I cant change mobo's) a AMD 64FX-55 socket 939 cpu 2 512MB BFG GeForce 6800 GT OC GPU's and as many as 8 SATA or SATAII 400GB HDD in external hot swap carriers in 5.25" external bays as well as the customary IDE Drives(DVD+/- CD Burner Combo + DVD+/- Player CD Player Combo a Temp Control Unit for the CPU and a Multimedia Card Reader.

Now for my question What are my PSU options for this setup and can I do it with one psu or will I need 2?

1 Will do. Money is the deciding factor.

What do you do with 8 400gb hdds?

Edit: If $ isnt a factor...here you go

Ill answer your question with a question Does long nights spent tweaking SQL queries for performance mean anything to ya?

qbackin:

That aint such a bad price really it only adds 500 to the already bloated 7700+ dollar price tag if I use the VapoChill cooling system

I actually plan on using this particular machine as a Modd/Dev/UltimateGamerCase will probably get some professional body worker to airbrush the case for me will post pics inside and out when the project is complete in early to mid July depending on how long it takes for mobo to ship

Yeah, the PSU he suggested is a good one. I'm thinking of getting one myself. My rig is using 17 X 400GB drives.

running a backplane for those 17 400GB HDD's?
