I run Vapochills with a single power supply. If you think you need two, just buy one good one.
Some with Vapo systems will run two power supplies using one just for the Vapo and the second just for the rest of the computer, but i`ve never herd of two with just a reg computer.
Also if yu have an ATI card with a seperate power connecter, make dang sure you use the power supply that`s plugged into the MB with that card as well as I have herd using a diffrent one for the VC frys the card.

You can buy switchers which do this for you. You basicly just plug both into a PCB and your away, you'll have to search around for one though.
i wired up x2 psu just fine a few years back, but they were the same, i wouldent like to risk to different wattage psu running together
How come ?
A PSU will only supply how many watts is needed upto its maximum output, it wont go over because it can.
i just wouldent feel comfortable running it with a shuttle psu
wimpi just wouldent feel comfortable running it with a shuttle psu
if it was q-tec on the other hand....
or worse he has a Q-Tec in and add's another one...wimp
if it was q-tec on the other hand....
Thats just like adding more uranium/plutonium to an overloading nuclear plant if you ask me
I've run dual PSU's before - by running one with a shorted green wire.
I wouldn't advise powering gfx from a different PSU as it's plugged straight into the motherboard - I have no idea how the power circuitry works on a gfx card so you might get a bit of a problem. I'd say powering drives and fans off the secondary PSU is the better idea.
