    I pulled the no-name brand power supply out of one and use it to test shit before it goes in a new rig. Most of the time that just involves jumpering it to start it and making sure the fans (especially CPU fans) run. It will also see use if I ever get around to a liquid cooling build, running the pump while I fill the system.
