The problem is
I need to use a PC power supply (AT-class with it's own
power switch) as a 12V power source, and the only one I have access to
needs a minimum load of 3Amp on the +5Volt line.
How about a light bulb? I'd try a bulb for an automotive brake light.
If one's not enough, you could connect a few in parallel. If you
find the 6V variety, it might work even better, but you should at
least draw some reasonable current with the 12V ones. If you really
wanted to have fun, you could try a headlight...
