You should inquire to see how many AMPS your socket will be. 10W is standard for most, 15+W sockets are sometimes a premium depending on the datacenter....then do your math accordingly.

so the other wire gotta go inside the casing and hide inside lol, than maybe put a tape to the original wire outside, so no one will take it out

but actually does datacenter allow this

imagine with that 450w at the 5.25 bay and a 1500w main psu

we can power 4 x 6990 lol

imagine cooling 4x 6990s in an enclosed case :p... lol Smiley

Powering a psu with a psu will never allow more than the primary psu. A y pass through or power strip will allow more than one per wall socket however.
