We recently modified such a power supply to get a single 12 volt DC
output at about 20 amps for a particular, amateur radio application.
In order to do so we had to load one of the 5 volt ouputs with a
couple of amps in order to get the unit to work; but that's normal.

Hey terry

I did that very same thing loaded the 5volt with 5ohm at 5 watt.
Ran my TenTec 526 off the 12 volt side of the PC power supply.
I thought it was the sweetest thing since sliced bread. Then
people started telling me I had this strange background noise.
They asked me what was going on in my shack. I had this strange
eerie noise in my shack, so they thought. Wasn't in my shack per
say but it was the PC power supply. Nobody knew I was running
a PC supply to power my rig.
