oh yea, triple psu's
i had to do something like that once, but it was risky, oh so risky, see this is what i did. i have a 2.1 celeron with no psu. i got a 175w 200w and a 250w. none of the psu's would turn it on. the 250w was literally one hdd away, it would turn on, as soon as that hdd got power it shut off. so i had one psu for the drives, one for the 20 pin and p4 connector. then the 250w still didn't have enough power, so i bit the nail and put the p4 connector on the 175w and the 20pin on the 250w and the 200w for the drives, and guess what: it booted, but oh man was it ugly, there was a stack of psu's bolted to the outside of the case with wires routing out the back of the case thru the original psu location.
the tricky part is timing for crucial system components(unless u got a multi-output toggle switch, common connector and 5 output connectors with one button to turn em all on), but for fans, y not?
but if not necessary, then i say don't: its just 1 more thing that can go wrong. so if ur system is struggling for power, and u got money, just get a better psu.
