Switcheroo on the Power Supplies? attn: Linderman!!

Hi again.

So, I've received some advice regarding power supplies for my Dell Dimension 9100 (which currently has a 375 W supply in it).

I've purchased the Corsair HX-520 unit. Pretty hefty beast

What I'm wondering now is: I have 2 comps, the Dell 9100 and a Dell XPS Gen3 which I use for gaming almost religiously. The 9100 sees light use, email, some apps, some graphics, but nothing really power demanding. *(I think by now you probably see where this is going....)*

I'm wondering if I should take the 460W PSU out of the XPS, put that in the 9100, and use the new Corsair for my gaming rig.

Can anyone tell me if this is a smart move or if it's idiotic? Or if it won't work, or if it's risky..... whatever.

As usual, any and all advice is appreciated.
KA
