I am thinking of getting the Gigabyte 7VAXP-A mainboard which has 4
IDE connectors.

What rating of power supply would I need to support this sort of
board and eight IDE devices?

BTW is this mainboard a good choice? In particular I like the dual
BIOS feature and the 4 IDE connectors. But are there any obvious
drawbacks?

Thats still mostly determined by the AMD cpu
requirements. Just get one of the AMD approved
power supplys with a higher power rating.

I prefer Asus motherboards myself.

The Gigabyte manuals can leave a bit to be desired in my opinion.
Have a read of that one and try to use the RAID connectors for a
non RAID config with say 6 hard drives and you will see what I mean.
