I have a 200 W power supply and I wanted to add a new hard drive in. The thing is I'm not sure if my computer can handle it. I currently have a 20 GB hard drive. Can I really afford to add a hard drive in? How much can i add to it?

200w will easily run two HDDs.
You will run into trouble if you add a CPU and an optical drive drive though.

Ok...I see. Thanks for your help!
woowoo
what are the system's specs?
if it's a farely new system them no that won't run it.
if it's old (3years+) then it should handle it.

A 200w PSU, while appropriate for a cell phone or even a toaster, is marginal for use in almost any PC.
What system do you have?
I would guess that your power supply is already huffing and puffing under it's current load and the addition of another component might bring it to it's knees.

I'll just have to keep this one for now since my specs really suck. I need to get myself a new comp quick.
