For those who have a technical backgound-
I have a 250w powering my 2 hdd and a kenwood cd-rom drive and a 300w powering my mobo and case fan.
My step-dad, who has been in the computer industry for a very long time, told me it might not be a good idea.
This is his reasoning. He says that it might not be good to run a hdd on a seperate power supply because it is being grounded by a different wire. He says that is could mess with the reliability of the system.
What do you guys think.
He said it would be fine to just run fans seperately though.
