howdy all, the old monk here, with a poser. My 'puter really wants a 350 watt p.s., but I've only got a 200. Is it possible to slave a second p.s. to get the extra, needed watts???

I agree that just spending $30-50 dollars on a good quality power supply is your best option, I like Antec's PSU's best but Sparkle and Enermax make good ones as well.

Check pricewatch. Just a couple months ago, I purchased a dual-fan 500W PSU for $16, shipped.
Even though you can slave two power supplies together, that's pretty, UM, GHETTO. For one thing, how easy would it be to find a case that accepts two PSUs? You'd probably end up drilling a old in the side and sitting the second PSU on top.
