can i use 2 psu's in one computer !?!?!?!

There are some cases which let you have two psu's in one case...

Wow... my mouth was open while reading those specs...

Hows it coping with one power supply? It struggling?

The heat also... I hope you have alot of fans in that case of yours

Well, as you know, Kage, running a psu at 90% consistently can really shorten the psu's life. So, a 550W or 600W would really not do too well. That thing consumes around 350W at idle. Yeha... So yeah, 1KW would do perfect because of the need for it... more is always better... look at the case... it's a cooling machine: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811163057http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811119103

There are server power supplies than rate at 1000watts. Look around. They're a bear to find but worth the hunt.
And Jac the monitors don't pull power from the computer. Neither do the speakers. The keyboard even if usb pull whispers of power. And why have 2 optical drives? Any dual layer drive worth being my systems will read anything you toss in them. Unnessacery power drain having 2.
What's killing the juice in that configuration is the 2 dual core cpu chips. Then add all the cooling fans for the heat and dude you better get a server tower with lots of elbow room and the 1k psu. The vid cards can get a bit demanding however.
What I did in my systen is use 2 psu but devided the load of the over all system between them. The motherboard is driven off one psu while the optical and hard drives are ran off the other. Oh and the cooling fans run off the second psu. Works fabiously. It's all happy and runs great.

That isnt actually his computer guys, thats just a dream computer... I think

But yes you can use two powersupplys. A lot of pepole will have a cheap like 250w or 300w just for lights fans and what not. Then they will have a nice, bigger powersupply for the rest of their computer.

You could always try modding
(I was about to ask, how sthe national power grid doing lol)

 

[willpete99]

Well, you can, you'd just have to configure a way of mounting the second PSU inside the case. But yes, it is possible.

Mods lock this, over a year old.
