Some Lian Li case allow you to put in two PSU(s) and it also include a special cable to allow you start up 2 PSU at the same time.

I think the 2nd PSU is needed for powering the high end (very power demanding) graphic card, extra hard disk and etc ...

Yes, it use 2 power cable.

The Lian Li PC-A10 casing do came with a special internal cable that link 2 PSU(s) together.
By pressing the casing power up button, 2 PSU(s) will start up together.

If you want to self make 2 PSU then ...

You should have a main (1st) PSU which connect to motherboard and the 2nd PSU which connect to your graphic card, HD and etc ...

If I not mistaken (please correct me), you should switch on the 2nd PSU before the main (1st) PSU.

Since the 2nd PSU is not connected to motherboard, no way you can switch it on. You should make a wire connection from GREEN to any BLACK at the PSU's socket for motherboard connection.

After you have done that, to switch on 2nd PSU, just switch on the power outlet at the wall that connected to 2nd PSU. It will start up.

Where else the 1st PSU, just switch it on by pressing the power up button from the casing.
