i acutally tried this once when my pc was messing about, i had no idea what i was doing so it was probably a very silly idea. fixed my problem for about 4 mins before the pc started making very horrible noises so i decided to best to turn it off

(sorry that wasnt very usefull atall)

If you want to use a second standard psu in a pc all you have to do is join the green wires together so both start at the same time and away you go.

I ran a pc with 2 300watt psu's for about 3 years without a problem. I modded the wiring so that 1 psu powered the mobo and the other powered everything else.

I didn't have a camera when i built that so i don't have any pictures of what i did but it worked perfectly. I fitted the 2 psu's to the bottom of my case and used them as feet.

used them as feet.

I must say, that is clever, have you tried 4 300 watts =0?
