Hey all,
This is a bit of a theoretical question.
If my PSU puts out x amount and I wanted to fit a GFX card which would take more power than the system uses in total would it help if I disabled an unused piece of hardware?
ie. If I disabled a floppy drive (physically from the PSU) would the power saved be available to a different piece of hardware?
Thanks for any help.

I'm confused about power rails etc..
