Hey fellas. It's been awhile now, hasn't it. So far I've had no problems at all, which is usually why I post here. But this isn't about a problem I'm having, it's about a problem I want to avoid. Power Supply Inadequacy.

I've got an Aspire (Apeva) 500W power supply. Runs great. 12V is 12.16-12.22. Great voltages. I'll just list what I have in this.

2 25CM fans (Xclio CS-A380)
1 8CM fan (Dynex, scavanged from a power supply. Had the plug, so I used it.)
AMD Athalon FX-55@ Stock 1.37 volts
4 USB devices, three of which are HID devices (Keyboard, mouse, gamepad) Fourth is a USB hard drive mount that intermittently has stuff in it.
3 Hard drives, 2 ATA, 1 SATA, One ATA DVD burner,
X1900GT 256 (Requires power)
Creative Labs Audigy 24bit
3 sticks 512MB DDR400 PQI and one Atlas/Apollo

So, 500 enough to duke it out for awhile longer, or should I look into the Ernemax Galaxy 2?

    From a review that i have recently read in guru3d a system with dual core,2 gb ram and 2 8800gtx in sli, hdds... will use less that 500watts so you have more than enough power to deliver to your system.
