I have a fairly new 600W PSU from BeQuiet in the case... so there should be enough power for all devices.
Bigger PSUs are often harder to work with. I believe they tend to have multiple separate power subsystems. If you are indiscriminate about which connectors you use you can overload one subsystem while the overall unit is just chugging along fine. I think they call each subsystem a lane?
The old classic 450W was just one big system, so all the connectors were effectively equivalent.
Clayton,
I think you said you were going to try an additional PSU. Did you? Did it help?
No I didn't buy a bigger PSU (I currently have a BeQuiet 600W http://www.be-quiet.net/be-quiet.net/index.php?StoryID=14 ) Turns out I was running up against a rather nasty bug in the sata kernel module (bug number 331610). There is a fix/patch for the problem that can be loaded at install but I never tried it... I was already back on 10.2. I might try again at some point... but probably by the time I get around to it, 11.0 will be ready :-) The short of it was... 10.3 will not install/run on my system without a patch to the kernel. 10.2 works fine.
