Can anybody tell me how I can set up to run 2 PSU's. What I want is to have my Thermaltake Silent Purepower 560W run as my primary and have my Athena 500W run as a "back up" Does this make any sense?

You can not make a redundent PSU from 2 seperate PSUs.

Well anything is possible but the effort to do it would be a lot more work then it is worth.

If you are referring to running 2 PSUs to share the PC load or isolate loads then see the above sticky as mentioned above. But this thread will not explain how to use the other PSU as a "back up"
