I have a pc with a 420w PSU and 4 hard disks (2 SATA raid 0 and 2 maste/slave IDE) plus I have a DVD-RW on IDE2.
The question is can I install one more disk or will I fry the PSU/Disks ????
The rest of the system is not that power hungry, namely it is an AMD Sempron 2600+ system with an NVidia 5200 GPU.

You could put 10 more in, they only take about 13 watts, and you are only running around 250 right now. Okay in reality I would probably wouldn't push it that far, but you have plenty of power for 1 more or 3 more.

Do some reseach on your psu and maybe you will find the answer you are looking for.

i think it depends on how many your motherboard can support and check the box that it came with and it should show you how much power its using
