Are you suggesting that Chuck is wrong, and that it is risk-free to run two computer power supplies together in parallel even if they are not designed for this purpose? Are you also suggesting that all consumer electronic products are representative of good design principles?

Or are you grinning because Dmitry has so far gotten away with a risky approach? You, Dmitry, and Chuck probably all know more about electrical engineering that I do, but I've done just enough with low voltage power supplies to share Chuck's concern. The result is cool, but there might be a better way to get the same result.

Alternatively, perhaps Dmitry meant "parallel" in the sense of "separate", rather than electrically parallel. That interpretation might make more sense, since the "just hook them up in parallel" approach seems so obviously poor.
