custom loops don't add that much power draw

why do you need to run two systems off one PSU though?

 

where will you get the second 24-Pin cable?

 

isn't it just easier to get 2 PSUs

Really!? I had no idea. awesome.

850W is enough IMO, so a 1000W or more power supply is nothing at all to worry about.
