Doing this will give you results, but they may be unpredicatable
and more importantly, it won't reveil the current draw for the
indivdual power lines. A 150W PSU is NOT a 150W PSU. It
depends on internal design. What I mean to say is that you will
need to know how many amps the +/-5V, +/- 12V Standyby etc
are drawing and how much your PSU delivers (which is why I
offered the idea of using a PCI riser extension / testing card.
