Using power supply outside of computer
I want to use a spare power supply outside of the computer, does anyone know how to get it working since it's not connected to a motherboard?

Hello there, Here:
Info: Can I use two Power supplies with one computer?? - Overclock.net - Overclocking.net
Although i would NOT recommend it.. i'd rather have one GOOD PSU than 2 PSUs and probably busting up a 2k$ PC
Use a Piece of wire or straightened paper clip to connect the Green wire on the 24 pin plug to any of the black ones

Instead of the wire, connect that to spare motherboard and RAM, and you have a great testbed for components...at least for video cards or fans
Use a PSU Tester,
Power Supply Tester II : PSU Tester : Maplin
I'm not sure what you mean by not safe, because it is only 12 volts and isn't going to shock anyone. As far as it shorting out to something else, that could be prevented by using an insulated wire.
