Yes, the ATX connector (or better) is a must. You probably want to look

an adapter lead that also bridges the Power Good signal, otherwise you

cases.
Hehe, this. When you solved that problem, what did you bridge it to? I just
shunted it through a resistor to ground in my prototype, as the PSUs I
tested only provided 5V at 10-20mA.
Yes - that is what I do, and a ground is right next door!
And, have a good insulating backing plate, because there's nothing worse
than 40 amps of 12V shorting onto something metal in the case, or worse, to
something on a PCB...
Oh yes there is - a wet tongue (8-)#
