Default One PSU, Two computers...

Here is a link from the Thermaltake Forums... Someone used one 1200W to power two systems. Pretty interesting. Any thoughts?

What use is a 1200 watt PSU?
:D




If there is a final hour, let's hope for a higher power. One by one, and two by two, I have ammo, what about you?

Thats great in theory, but in real world applications I would consider it worthless.

Looks like cool idea, but looks (from the pics) very impractical. How about two 600W PSU's?

It was just a test... Never said it was practical. PSU go down and your out two computers.

Well, seems like the PSU held up very well.

I kinda want to see a PSU blow up though. That would be interesting.
