Rebuilding my Media Server. Looking at around 15x 3.5 sata drives / 2x 2.5" sata drives. What sort of power supply should i be looking at. ATM im wondering if 1000watt is a over kill.

650W should be fine IMO, the PSU calculators tend to err on the side of caution already so don't go way over what they say. HDDs tend not to use much at all compared to say a higher end GPU, and 850W+ PSUs are more aimed at crossfire\SLI.

(EDIT: Just be sure to go for a good brand PSU)
