You probably can, but why not use an at style to run the fans? Then you'd need a regular switch. I don't think fans burn up that many watts, you can probably use y splitters galore for the fans. Also, someone may know how to turn on the atx psu without a mobo, there must be a way. Good luck.

are you running a server? even the most demanding computer nowadays will run smoothly from a 550w PSU, redundant PSUs are only used for servers
