I have a Corsair 1000HX on the way which is going into a MM duality case.
The case has room for two systems, the power supply is also modular.

If I were to request an extra 24 pin ATX mobo connector from Corsair,
would I be able to run two Systems off of the same PSU?
 
IMO, the only tech problem driving two systems is you have to deal with startup signals like POWER_ON and POWER_GOOD. Think about what would happen when you connect two systems to your PSU and both systems are connected to the same PW_ON/PG signal source, but you only want turn on one. Knowing where the problems probably lies, you can figure out that.

Reviewers like SKYMTL from Hardware Canucks are using 2 systems simutaneously to load a high wattage PSU, so you'll see this modding isn't difficult, just some work on connectors, wires and a switch.

Since I lack the knowledge on mobo&PSU startup mechanism, things might be even easier.
