all i want to know is it technically possible to run 2 atx computers off 1 high wattage atx power supply if i were to solder an extra atx connector into the power supply?

if so, how do i do this. is it as simple as soldering an extra atx connector in parallel with the original? or is there more complications.
 
Yes, The folding guys used to do it for their their farms. You'd have to splice a second atx connector and use a switch y-ed to both motherboards.
