Looks like a video out power cord being used as a power cord for a second psu.

'S a redundant PSU. Usually used in servers, or other systems where there are many, many drives or other power requiring devices. It's just like how some powersupplies have a pass-thru port to power the monitor, this has a pass-thru port to power the other power supply so they can both get power with only one wall cord.

It doesn't have to be a redundant PSU, actually it doesn't look like it is, cuz they would probably look the same.
I think they modded the case just like I did

True, it could just be a double PSU setup, like for peltiers.
I've just normally seen that in servers, but the case is nowhere near big enough for a server.

I think it's just a dual PSU Setup if it was a redundant PS system the power cord would not go to either PSU, it would go to a nuetral point and they would both plug into it. Kind of like a Removable Hard drive cage. Those cables were very specialized alot of time you cannot find them they became very popular with the Old school AT Cases which then would use the pass through to power a monitor. Doing what they have done with it was rather ingenius IMHO hmmmm... one of these I will start some of my projects I want to get done. LOL
