Frankly Watts are nothing. There are 500 W psu out there with 60% efficiency and 12A on the 12V rail.

Which would get Killed by A good Antec 330 truepower,

If yours has 18A, you're fine buddy.

You sure? You know, my SPI supply's power stats are
3.3V - 28A
5V - 30A
12V - 18A
if you do some calculations, my PSU has a max output of 450+W (way more than 300W max it says) but I did those power calculator things and they say I need 350W min.
Plus my AMD64 takes 89W out of that 12V... I dunno
More info on the Amps thing plz. Thx

I am running an Enermax (Quality) 350W power supply slaving away at a 160 GB, 80 GB, and two 40 GB HD's including my Gigabyte 6800GT overclocked to 406/1100 and my AMD A64 3200+ overclocked to 2.2 GHz.

This power supply is amazing!
