power block?
If i make a power block for my stuff and connect it with a Y-adapter well that slowdown my hard drives?
I plan on running 5 fans lets just say 1.00A each and 1 neon plasma tube and about 10 leds.
Sorry for got its a 350W power supply. If you need more specs just say the word.

you mean splitting the power lines with a Y adapter? it will not slow down your hard drive. the only thing your hard drive is concerned about is the voltage, and in parralell circuits the voltage stays the same. however more devices need more amperes and if the psu cant supply whats needed, the whole pc will shut down. you should be ok with 350W if you dont have a powerplant with a 3G cpu, 2 videocards, and couple hds with 2 optical drives.
Yeah for that setup, i would consider upgrading your PSU, something 400 or 450 watts, plus it will last for atleast 2 years.
"It's time to prove to your friends that you're worth a damn. Sometimes that means dying, sometimes it means killing a whole lot of people."
just go ahead and make your "power block" and buy a new psu if you really need to. I assume you dont have a prescott with a dual 6800U config so you should be fine with 350W
