Phanteks PowerCombo - Use not one but two PSUs in your PC
Right, find a case for this one, Phanteks announces the release of their patented Power Combo. The Power Combo is design to maximize your power output by allowing you to connect two power supplies. The Power Combo will be a true plug and play that requires no splicing and cutting of the wires.
The Power Combo is design to be safe and secure. The Power Combo features a redundant power supply architecture concept, this prevents the system from shutting down when one power supply fails. This ensures that all your vital information and data will not be interrupted or lost.
The Power Combo can run high end systems that requires more power output by combining 2x top tier PSUs. The Power Combo is fully compatible to Mini ITX, mATX, ATX, and E-ATX motherboards. The Power Combo features a unique soft start circuit that limits the inrush current to help improve stability and reduce transient voltage drops. The Power Combo will help share the load current of the two power supply and improve the power efficiency. The Power Combo is cost efficient and provides maximum power and efficiency.
While I like creative ideas, is there anyone that sees an actual viable use for this ? Available from April 2016, The Power Combo will be priced at €39.90.

One use is that it could add redunancy to the system. With two manually connected PSU's, they would each deliver power to different components. But now, if one fall out, the Motherboard, CPU and GPU will still be operational, even if one PSU fall out.
Kinda like a cheap consumer edition of redunant PSU's on the professional marked. Not exactly something to my own taste, but there are probably people out there that could want something like this.
But for power distrubution, I can't se why you would want this.

Yeah....... Not so sure about this one. I mean Add2PSU adapters have been around for years and give the consumer easy control when adding one or more PSU's to the system. And there is no need for "splicing and or cutting" anything when using them.
This way you could theoretically connect as many PSU's as you wanted. I have three 1500 watt PSU's hooked up now in my personal rig and have never had an issue with my two $12-20 parts....
What in the world do you need 4500W for in a personal computer?

it look neat... BUT:
-2x1000 PSU cost lot more than a single 2000 from superflower and need twice the space (or 1.5 as it is really big lol)...
-if you need redundance then pro PSU again is less expensive than 2 mainstream and take less space...
-if you are manic OCer then again there is wire adaptator that doesn't need cut, melt or anithing at less than 10Euro to do the job...
so it is really cool looking but i doubd about the success of this.

the PC, the independent phase changing cooler, the heater for not having water on the sensible component, the quad tesla unit (or more if you have a bigger case lol) and the own data server inside the box...
with all of that maybe the division would work fine
(at least plant vs zombies would work fine).
