Default Paralleling computer power supplies

Has anyone connected a pair of identical computer supplies in parallel for
additional current capabilities? Did it require a low R resistor to allow
for any mismatch?

Tnx,

It is something I looked in to one time. I hsd s few power supplies
and thought I would try it. I checked the outputs into a 10 amp loaded
and decided they werent a close enough match to even try. With no
voltage adjust on the power supplies I confess I gave up pretty
easily. If the outputs could be matched I would think this would work.
I would always try to use equalizing resistors. I have had bad
expeiences when I didnt.
