how to make a dual power supply ?

[Guest]

Does any one knows how to connect two power supplies to work both at the same time (secondary p.s. will be used for fans and devices only)?

yeah somebody already asked that and got answer, surf through the posts, look for ones with power supply (aka PS or PSU) in the subject line.

Look <A HREF="http://www.burningissues.net/how_to/power/psu.htm" target="_new">here.</A>

I'm afraid I don't have a link to the connecting of AT PSUs, if that's what you're after.

Why not just use an old AT power supply for devices? They are FREE!

What's the frequency, Kenneth?

Hmmm. There's a AT to ATX cable in www.quietpc.com in their wiring section. That would allow for an at if you digged up the parallel loom first.

d00d, are you on cracks? K, check it out, that cable makes an ATX PS work with an AT board. All this guy wants to do is power the DRIVES with the second power supply, that's why I recommended at AT power supply, they can be had almost everywhere for free and most run without a motherboard attached.

Chill.

Your idea is good.

His idea is good.

The comment was concerning your cable suggestion, please research further!

Fair enough. His first post doesn't actually say "connect them together".

I'll getcha next time.

Sure. In fact, his first post implied that they would not be connected together. While having them connected to a common power switch is handy, it's unnecessary and not worth the trouble IMO.
