Can I run 2 power supplies
1 atx with the main machine and one
for may cdrw and 2 more hard drives

system T-Bird 1.2 KT7-RAID
2 60 gig raid 0
2 cd roms
1-2 back up hard drives
I was going to hook up an AT power supply to the 2 cd-roms
and 1 hd

and use the atx system power supply for the MB and the
RAID
I would turn on the AT supply at the same time the "main"
supply would go on ?
Any thoughts
Tom

I did read on I believe it was overclock-watercool, a set of instructions that allow you to turn on both psu with the same switch (you comp on off switch) if I remember right you just splice the neg. and power on wire from the 2nd psu to the first psu and presto, two psu turned on and off by the same switch, much more convenient, and no worries of flying sparks
