Basically I've got a Corsair CX430 which I'm going to mod to work as a desktop PSU for Arduino projects.

This way I can use the various outputs to control various components with an Arduino board and relays.

Has anybody done something similar or have any good resources for doing so bookmarked?

I know I have to trick the PSU into thinking a MOBO is attached and wire the ON/OFF directly into the 24pin plug.

Has anybody used an Arduino to draw enough Watts or resistance to make a modern PSU fire up?
