How many watts would I need for a basic system of one hard drive and
one optical drive? How many additional watts would I need for each
additional hard drive? How many additional watts would I need for

I am terribly cruel to my cat. I give him so little canned food
that he has to eat some dry just to survive. I won't let him
get on the table and eat off my plate. I sometimes refuse to
open a window he wants to smell out just because it's too cold/hot.
