Building new system in very shortly and since I have the Coolermaster case with room for two PSUs I am going to take advantage of this and run two OCZ 520w Powerstreams.
As first build I wanted suggestions what would be best to connect to each PSU.
System I will be running-

DFI LANPARTY nF4 SLI-DR
Athlon 64 3500+ S939 Winchester
Thermalright XP-120 HS
OCZ PC3200 400MHz EL Platinum Rev2 (2x512)
2 XFX 6800 GTs PCI-E 256MB
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS
Dvico Fusion HDTV
8 Hard Drives
CoolerMaster Stacker with 6 Fans
(3x120mm - 2x80mm - 1xCM Cross Flow)
2 OCZ 520W Powerstreams (1040w)
LG GSA-4160B Burner
19" CRT
MS Digital Media Keyboard
LogiTech MX1000 Laser Mouse

Thanks

Hi RedRider,

Take look through this thread, what your talking about should work, but there are some issues you might run into.

I would hook up the mobo and the Vid Cards to one unit, then everything else to the other. The powerstreams do struggle when there is no load on the ATX header, that is discussed in the thread above.

Thanks
