another fairly cheap solution is to replace the power supply with something beefier. my personal recommendation (and what I did for myself) is to spend around $150 and purchase 2x of these 750w kits - http://www.gekkoscience.com/products/server_supply_breakout_board.html - and run them with power sharing pins and you have more than enough for the S2 (unless we figure how to overclock past 250mhz) and enough for 3 overclocked S1's. and if you have one of these power supplies go bad you can replace it for a cheap $25 from ebay. i keep an extra few on hand for myself anyway for rapid deployment for myself and customers. if you want more info on the maker of these you can read this thread - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=379677

i have some of these boards and psu, what gauge wire did you use for the main lines? and what did you use for the current share pin to pin? i've been looking in vain for some time for a set of pin to pin female cables

i used 2 separate sets of 14AWG wire to connect the 2 PSUs together for current share. the current share pin to pin i used a cable that i pulled from an old Dell machine that has about 10 connectors on it (i just cut the actual connector so that it would only have 1 wire/connection on it to make it easier to connect and deal with).

buy this it is better then your idea

and it will pull less power then your 2 will not to mention the shock>> short hazard is far less
