    Is a 350W psu enough to power a system with dvd drive, dvd burner, and 3 hard drives?

    It's unlikely, but it depends also on your CPU, RAM and Graphics card.

    Depends on the PSU also. Not all 350W PSU's are created equal ;)

    FYI, I was running the following config on what is considered a crappy 350 watter:

    Athlon 2800+
    512MB
    160GB 7200rpm drive
    1 dvd reader
    1 dvd writer
    9800 pro, overclocked, with arctic cooler
    3 case fans.

    Check the power ratings on the hard drives you intend buying (power = current (amps) * voltage).

    I'd say a GOOD 350watt (such as antec) would be the minumum. A 350watt by the likes of Qtec should be binned, as it probably won't run the system stably.
