Default Possibly a stupid question...

Is it possible to run two PSUs in one case?

I know it sounds kind of foolish seeing as I'm not watercooling (yet)... but wire management is ridiculous in my POS case, and I have a 400W Modular unit spare (not sure where it came from, was the only 400W mod unit I've ever seen) that I'd like to put in the bottom of my case and be able to run wires to lower stuff with that, upper stuff with the other PSU.

Does it make sense? Is it a stupid idea that will work in the meantime before I got the dough to purchase a nice 800W+ unit?

Thanks in advance!

P.S. Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but oh well.

No, it's possible.

This should set you on your way.

Thats fine. I don't pick the damn thing up anyway...

I just need a temporary power solution until I get the funds to upgrade the rig with better power supply.

Not to mention, the PSU in my case is the one that came with it (500W, not 80%+ cert)... so I don't trust it as much as I want. To spread the power between two PSUs (neither 80%+ cert) would lower the chance of stressing either one...

Thank you... especially for the humor :P +rep
