I want to connect 2 of 350W power supplies to my computer. I want the one PSU to supply power to my hard disk, cdrom & motherboard while another power my ATI 1900 XT graphic card and other cooling devices in my computer. Can it be done if yes then how?. I do not want to use one 500W/700W PSU as it will have only 4 connectors which will be not enough for my devices.

Yes u can use 2 SMPS together....
I am doing that currently :D

All u have to do is that use moltex connectors of the...SMPS that u want to power the device....that u want to run.....only some cabinets cannot accomadate 2 SMPSs so U can keep one externally using moltex extentions....
