2 PSUs in one case

[aspire]

there is only one green wire... and many black wires like hotwiring a car only easier plus you just need to rig a switch and mount the switch in a drive bay cover

Just find an old AT power supply,It has it's own switch so you can power it on and off by it's self.

I cant mount a switch on my case because of the door, it wouldnt close -.-

You could alway's mount it on the back some how.

No tools to cut the case realy. And the reason i say 2 green wires is because i mean hooking PSU1's green and PSU2's green wire together then hooking them up to the right pin on the motherboard, just not sure if it would overload or something....

dont think that would work like i said before just hotwire it and move the on off switch to a front drive bay easy simple a pretty cool lookin

Actually it probably would work aspire....that way he wouldn't have to manually always turn on the 2nd PSU which he'd have to do if he made a 'test PSU' out of the 2nd one in the case.

go there, find the wires they are talking about, and splice those two wires into the matching wires on the PSU that has the ATX connector to the mobo, this should turn on both simultaneously

Risky since i only have two PSU's and one working system now, but ill try it when i get home.

How about you save some money.. save some heat and save some electricity.. and just buy a good, strong psu that will handle everything you've got.. wild idea.. I know.

Actully i could use a 2nd PSU anyways because of the ammount of parts i use
