Hi, I used a 12V lamp from a car (25 watt) or similar for the load on my
power supply, used a cable tie to hold it on the inside of the case behind
the vent slots.

Thanks, Kiwi Pete.

I wanted to use an ATX power supply to provide 12vdc to car radio in my
house, but was told that it would not operate unless it was physically
connected to a motherboard.

Is there a way to use it without it being connected to a motherboard?

Thanks.

Try a computer vendor who takes trade-ins.

A non operative unit is usually very cheap and the Power supply may
still
be
working.

You get 12 v. and lots of 5 v capability from a ATX machine.

Not a lab supply but reasonably well regulated
