	When using a high efficiency PSU (90%), It is a good idea to use one PSU to power two motherboards. Because those high efficiency PSU are very expensive and also high power ( > 800 Watts). A normal Intel I5 or I7 plus MB consume only about 200Watts, or maybe 300watts(with a high end graphics card).
