Default Wire two PSU's to start together?
I was in the market for a new PSU and I was looking in the 600W range. I wasn't happy with the prices I found but I have heard great things about the Sparkle 400W PSU made by FPS for $42 CDN.

So I ordered 2! for $107 dollars shipped!

Anyway, now I want both PSU's to turn on when I start my computer. I would just remember to turn on both, but if someone else uses my computer they wont know what to do.

I read the gide of how to get a second PSu to run on your comp, but it doen't cover how to get them to turn on at the same time.

Please tell me how to do it or point me to a review. Cheers

I already read that, it doesn't explaine how to turn them both on with only the one motherboard switch.

I want to know how to turn both PSU's on just by pressing the power button on my case!

Cheers

Cant you just splice the green and black wire of one, onto the other and have one plugged into the mobo. Then when the pc powers on, they both will kick on.
