Just a small question here :
Can my TT (ThermalTake not TwinkleToes) power supply handle a dual opteron system with 2 hdd, 3 optical drives, and 8 cooling fans?
I'm just plain paranoid about cooling ;)
I can't seem to live dangerously :o
Thermaltake has made many good juice boxes in the past AFAIK :)

Sure, why not? :)
I actually thought about getting one of those (before I settled on the Antec True430.
Actually, what is your PSU rated at?
I'm wanting to say that it will be enough power (because cooling fans do not draw that much power (as opposed to stuff like motherboards and things). You might want to think about daisy chaining the cooling fans (if possible) to one connection - if they are 4 pin molex. 3 optical drives? I'm not trying to be nosy, but could any of them be combined? Such as if you have a CD-Rom, DVD-Rom, and CD-RW, going for a DVD-Rom that has decent CD-Rom speeds (like the ATA-66 Pioneer slot load DVD-Rom) This is much better than most CD-Roms out there.

Hrm...its 420watts Thanks for asking, I totally forgot =\
Yes, my fans are 4 pin Molex :)
I only have stuff like the PSU and fans (looking around for good m/b, cpu - so yeah, i can have multipurpose drives, - you're not being nosy here).
