Default Multiple Power Supplies

Hey. I know I haven't been on the boards in a long while, but now I'm in need of some help. I'm going to be making a really killer system where money won't be much of an issue (I foresee the total price being around 7k). However, I don't want to run one massive power supply, but two smaller ones. One will power my CPU, the two 8800GTXs (or whatever newer card is out within a year or so), and the Peltier cooler. The other will power everything else. Does anyone know how to use two 20+4-pin PSUs in conjunction? I've only found one document on using 2 20-pins. Any help or resource would be appreciated. Thanks.

Not 100% sure on this but you don't use them both, you would only use one which would power the motherboard, and other would normally be used to power either the graphic cards in your case or say for example high end water cooling kit.

The power supplies for you would be modular so you can just connect the leads you need. But in all fairness just get a single 1kw enermax galaxy power supply, its very expensive but is the best you can get in my opinion.
