    Two power supplys?

    I have a 300w right now and apparently need more juice. I have a old comp with a 150w in it. Can I like, run the 150 on my hd and the 300 on the rest? Probably a lame Q but I'm in remote AK and to get a psu could take awhile.

    Thanks for any replies in advance!

      Never heard of anybody trying to do THAT before.

      If you don't know enough about hardware to answer that question yourself, then you don't know enough to pull that off..even if it WAS possible

      Your hardware will be MUCH safer if you just wait for a new PSU to be shipped. Better than having to replace your whole system cuz it got fried

              It's just that you'd have to figure out a way to enable BOTH PSUs to be switched on when you turn your PC on..either that or something like short the circuit that controls the switch.

              But I'm not recommending that you do that
