A bit confused here. Have used 2 ATX psu's before with success in a pc setup but had to tie the "power good" and "power on" to ground on one psu while using the other psu to power up the pc (athlonoc.com, o/c co.uk show how), the first psu powered the pelt. The article does not mention this requirement. Is this only necessary with ATX boxes? Also the above websites tie these signals to ground but I'm hearing that in truth they should be tied to +5v dc. Is this so? Anybody help me out here as 172 watt peltage is definitely a desire.
