Note that many of the ATX power supplies require a minimum draw on the 5V line to start to regulate. This is because the housekeeping circuitry power is pulled from an inductor that won't have power in it unless some power is being drawn.

Note: To turn on the power supply Pin 14 must be attached to GND (Pins 13, 15, 16, or 17).
Note: Many of these converters need a minimum current draw on at least one of the power pins to operate in regulation.
