It "can" be done, but I would not recommend it. Ive been working in the electrical trades for about 10 years. So Ive seen just about everything. Butt connectors are fine if used in the right applications. This would not be one. PC components are very sensitive to amp and voltage changes. If you can get a good tight connection you should be fine but if you dont.... you will know it real fast. I would not recommend using connectors on your main "rails".
