George > --Maranatha (means the Lord cometh) Rev. and once again a big Thanx for the good input, right now that's the whole enchilada plan, and sure am hopin' that the bus has the power for sure. Does anyone know if'n the stock SCSI or flashed to ATTO cards are known to pull heavy on the PCI bus's available power?, as the drives will have their own connections to the PS, and it wouldn't be those lil' tiny on card flashing LEDs would it? But FYI- I had all 3 slots filled w/Sonnet133ata/Radeon7000/ OM-FW/USB cards at first go'round without a hitch, course no SCSI was mixed in the PCI fracus at that time.
