My thoughts too... I did do some experiments with PC power supplies,
with much aprehension I must add, last thing I want was an overvoltage
failure! That said I managed to toast two of them that claimed to output
30A and 40A respectivly at 5V... They both shutdown and wouldn't start
again. This actually happened in both cases within a minute.

I did properly load the other voltage lines BTW, measured a 1A draw on
the 12V and 0.1A on -12 and -5
