Default RE: How to convert an ATX power supply to rc use

I'm running a 10 ohm 10 watt resistor across the 5 volt line. I tried adding another 10 ohm 10 watt resistor across a seperate 5v line and the voltage remained exactly the same, maybe something I didn't do properly.

Also, I ran 2 motors plugged in parallel and in series and always notice a 5 amp draw, does this mean my 400 watt PSU only supplies 5 amps?!??! Because when I charge a 5 cell 700mAH pack I also get a 5amp draw from the psu.

Thanks Andrew! *closes his blinds*
