    Honestly, If you were to do the mod the way I suggested, and you got a 4 pole relay instead of a 1 pole, you could easily start 4 more psu's (or 3 like you want). I would say going more than that, you might see a bit too much startup delay at POST, and if the hardware you are starting interfaces the MOBO or ATA or even SCSI, you will have latency problems, where one power supply doesn't kick on quick enough... Just don't "Daisy Chain" them, you will have too much delay...
    and again, MAKE SURE THERE IS A LOAD ON THE 12V on EVERY POWER SUPPLY... I accidentally burned one up without a load on it.

    imho :blah: :sigh: :yawn:
