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

Well, I got it going now. I moved one of the fans to the outside of the power supply case to give me more room for my power resistors and power harnesses. But I have ran into one problem. My supply will not activate unless I disconnect a five wire connector from the little board that says it is for the fan control. I do not know if this harness is important. I still get heat from my power resistors without it (2 10 ohm in parallel), and about 12.15v off the 12 volt rails. Am I gonna cook something without it? It just does not seem to get past the self test with it connected.

Thanx for any input!

Matt
