A power supply from a PC should start up when the mains is plugged into it?

It draws a little power from the mains - at least there is a spark
noise when the lead is shoved in live, but its fan doesn't start up.

There is no voltage on the green lead that I gather is supposed to be
+5v and driven low to switch it on

Plugs from it are a block of 8 and a block of 24 - ATX isn't it.


My room is so quiet at the moment though that I may be in the market
for a new machine that has less howling fans.  Old one is a Dell
Poweredge 1850 and I use grahics cards in PCI-Express slots.

What does the panel like for hardware these days?

I got a 4 core 64 bit AMD jobbie with 4 gig ram that I'm finding hard to utilise 
anywhere near fully (other than folding@home)
got that from novatech as a barebones bundle - I use chacher-ng proxy cash so with a 
12meg (small) boot iso for ubuntu I was up an running in less than an hour.
but I'd prefer http://www.dcs.warwick.ac.uk/~edsac/ if the winters going to be 
another cold one
