If you want cheap redundancy you can just run a Y into everything. IE the two power supplies have all their connectors connected up together into a single plug. so if one power supply dies it is just a simple matter of unplugging it and plugging another one straight into the now empty part of the Y.

Or you could even make up a little pcb with 2x 20pin male connectors, 8x 4pin male connectors, etc etc, and have 1x 20pin female connector, 4x 4pin female connectors, etc etc on the other side.
