There's a lot of wattage inflation these days, following the stereo
equipment makers in the 80s. The fact of the matter is that if you
have a *quality* 300 or 350W power supply, it should run just about
anything you can fit in the computer. I've measured a number of
computers with a power analyzer and I have yet to see one which draws
more than 250W from the wall under full load, most typical single CPU
computers are down around 160-180W even with multiple hard drives.
Don't fight it. People think that adding power supplies multiples the
speed of the PC by the number of power supplies added. No way to talk
them out of it. :)
