I have an extra power supply sitting around that is 450w and completely fine. . . Is there anyway to set it up as a backup?
 
What ya mean by backup? If the power goes off then so will both ya supplies. Not sure if thats what ya wanting, or if ya wanting something like a UPS, so if the power goes off then a battery source will take over.
 
No I mean could I set it up to combine my two supplies or something? What would happen if I plugged it into the wall then connected one of the cables from inside my comp to the 450? (with the rest of the stuff on the 550)
 
Yeah. . . Except he was using matched 300s. I'm gonna try to email the guy asking if they have to be matched. Thanks for your help.
