all partitioned for mp3s- trance ONLY, cept for the 10GB(OS)

If you have all of those drives full of nothing but trance, you're wasting space. You could never possibly listen to it all.

wouldn't that burn the power supply, possibly the motherboard also, out if you try to boot all the devices at once??

that's a lot of heavy duty devices to boot into one power supply or one motherboard. a motherboard can only take so much power.
