    You have to wire a dummy load across the 3.3v or sometimes 5v lines and a switch to the motherboard trigger, like 100ohms with newer ATX power supplies. I used to use a few 3/486 supplies with a car subwoofer amp but I upgraded to a Pentium 4 PC's supply. Those CPUs had terrible thermal efficiency so the supplies are pretty powerful. Nice to know someone else is a geek :)
