2 PSUs?

Is there anything I can buy that will let me start 2 PSUs at the same time from the motherboard power switch?

I'm guessing I could mod it so that the second PSU has it's green and a black pin connected to the same on the PSU powering the motherboard but I would rather not have to if there is something available to do it for me.

I have a Stacker as well, I guess I'll have that cable in the accessories box.

The Stacker cable connects the ground in both PSUs together. I had the same concern in the case where you weren't directly grounding them for the reasons you've given. You would need to run a wire between a black core on each PSU to ground them together, you could do this between two molexes. Either way I've never had a problem where I've run two seperate PSUs without doing it so I don't think it's a real problem in reality.
