PSUs for ATX boards will shut themselves down if they're disconnected from the board.
Not if this article is correct, which is what I did per my original post and when removed:

modtown - article - Powering an ATX PSU Without a Motherboard - if it ain't broke - mod it!

One of these has been ordered to replace it, in the process giving me some future proofing oomph too compared to the original 550w (rated but I doubt even that) unit that has failed.
