Hi all, I am looking to install several hard-drives, maybe a removable-hdd tray, and a CD/DVD Reader/Burner into a system I'm (re)building. Ideally, I would also like to *not* spend a fortune on this as I am kinda recycling bits and bobs into this machine as it is. So, to my question: I am likely to need a few extra Molex connectors for all the drives, unfortunately it would seem that the vast majority of PSUs I have (or are available at a sensible price) are limited to having 4 Molex connectors. Is it possible to daisy-chain two PSUs so I have the extra power I need? I know that the ATX PSUs don't work unless connected to a motherboard and the power-switch was pressed... I'm guessing a couple of pins on the mobo connector would need shorting? Just thinking around the problem... I could spend some more money and get a higher rated PSU and add a few Moles splitters... but is that wise? Please bear in mind that I'm not particularly electrically minded or inclined... Cheers.
