    d1rage5,

    200 ma for the drives and breakout board will be sufficient.

    You can get the five volts from your P.C.

    Or from a 5 volt adapter.

    Or even a USB power adapter.

    as Jeff said , a pc supply or what have you , if its higher amps don't worry about it , if the amperage is below the min then you may have a problem
