Yeah, that's what I thought too. The only question left would be how to turn it on, and if that requires that a signal be sent through the db15 connector.

Let's assume for a moment that the DB15 is simply to get a status on the PSU. There's still 24 pins on that power connector. If one plugs it in, it should be possible to at least identify, if there is one, which line is the 5 volt standby (which is always on).

Step one really ought to be to identify which pins are used for ground. Once one pin has been identified, it should be a simple exercise of identifying which other ones are also ground. It should be possible to do this with a voltmeter, while the PSU is OFF, and should be relatively easy, asuming that the case is also grounded.
