if you buy a new supply, dont throw away the old
one, you can use this supply on other things
like op amps.
i built a 16 input mixer useing a pc power supply.
to run this supply without a computer,
connect a 5watt 100 ohm resistor across
the 5 volt out to ground, its a dummy load.
same for ATX supplys, to fire up an ATX,
ground the SP-ON wire.

Shouldn't a 1/2 Watt 100 ohm resistor be sufficient? 5V / 100 Ohms = 50
ma. 50 ma * 5V = 250 mW, right?
