You would install them both in the case, then use THIS to join them.

Depends on your ventilation, but if it has it's own fan extracting air from the case, you should be ok. It really all depends on your system cooling.

Why spend R125 on that little thing, when all you need to do is short these two pins on the psu not plugged into the motherboard.

I did a mod way back that had 2 PSU's in it. Behemoth it was called. It should still be here under the project logs. I just had to connect the ground lines together and trigger the second PSU's green wire for it to switch on. I did it with a relay running from the 12Vdc of the main supply switching the green wire to ground. Worked VERY well.
