This will also allow you to turn off the redundant psu (if that is how you configured it) when you are not playing games or pimping your rig to someone, showing them how cool it and you are...
Making sure the chassis of the redundant psu is grounded to the rest of the system is important as well. If you've got it mounted inside the case (metal to metal contact), it shouldn't be an issue. If you are running it external or seperate from the main rig, you should run a small ground strap from the chassis of the case to your redundant psu. (A small wire with to a couple of solderless connections physically screwed to each chassis.)
