CAUTION: Some PC switching power supplies will self destruct if operated with no load on the 5 v rail ! To be safe, you should ALWAYS have at least a 1 amp load on the PSU when powered up. The little PC power supply testers you can buy will take care of this for you - as well as an easy way to turn it on without having a mobo hooked up or jumpering wires...
