Ok. I've been using a cheap ATX power supply to power some gridseeds, now I'm going to really hack it (cut the wires). I take it, from all the googling I've done, all the yellow wires are 12 volts positive, and I just need to use the closest black wire as the ground. So that gives me power from the molex, the sata, the cpu, and the main atx bunch of wires.

I'll let you guys know. This PSU won't be used for anything else.

Yes, for the Molex connectors, the yellow is 12V, the red is 5V, and the blacks are the grounds. I would recommend that you stick to Molex connectors because you can easily buy or find the male connectors and solder them to barrel connectors to make them removable. You can buy 8-to-1 barrel splitters on eBay, cut the end off, and solder it to a Molex connector.

From everything I've researched, all yellow wires are 12V, so I'm going to use all the yellow wires, maybe maximum of 5 gridseeds (in scrypt only mode) per yellow / black pair. This includes even the ones for the cpu and the 20/24 connector for the motherboard.

I've already shorted the green wire for always on operation.
