Tech Link (System): Running Two Systems with a Single PSU

You have got to love what HardwareZone did to their two "bare naked" systems, running on on a single PSU. The system is running with a very powerful processor, in the incarnation of Intel® Core™ 2 Duo with an MSI* motherboard equipped with an Intel® 965P Express Chipset, an MSI* 7300GS Video Card, a Fujitsu 2.5in mobile 60GB SATA hard drive, and 4x512MB Kingston DDR2-800. Aside from the unique way of getting this two systems built with one PSU, the beasty machine is very very nice looking in its fiery red theme, and consuming a little over 200w! Omigosh!

A lot of users often asked if it was ever possible to run two systems with a single power supply unit. While some users reported success, it wasn't something that we would encourage since most of today's processors would be too power hungry. It may still be possible to power up two of the latest Intel Pentium D or Athlon 64 X2 systems but you may need to get a pretty powerful power supply to get it working.
