I have read anecdotal evidence of problems, if not disasters, with power-sp= litters. =A0There are third-party aux power supplies that can be mounted in= a spare drive bay (including optical), provide plenty of extra wattage wit= hout taxing your onboard PSU. =A0Also external PSU's, but those are not= too elegant - gotta run cables into the tower through an open PCI slot cov= er.

Anyway, I thought I'd pass along what I found when researching this a f= ew weeks ago.
