Heres my situation:
I thought my video card was defective, so I requested an RMA to support and they told me to check my power supply to see if it's strong enough. They recommended me to disconnect the cd drives and case fans. I attempted what they suggested; my problem was solved; yet now I need a new power supply.
Till now I realized I have an extra PSU laying around. it is 450W.
I wonder, if I can use my current PSU 600W to power everything else, and let the 450W power the cd + dvd drives and case fans. Is this possible? Will this raise the electric bill? Is it dangerous?
