I know its possible to run 2 atx psus in series to give you 24v, but i was wondering if someone out there has any info on how exactly to go about doing this, a link to an article perhaps? would the 12v lines on the psus need to be rated at the same amperage in order to be effective and not overload either one? Also, as i was thinking about using this as a standalone powersource, i would need info on how to power an atx psu without connecting it to a motherboard...something about grounding one of the pins i remember.

My idea is to have the two atx psus running in series and through a relay, like the kind they have at xtwerkz so they would both be switched on when i power up the pc (which is what i have my current 14.4v 30a pelt powersupply doing)
