What parts of the machine are you intending to run with computer PS?
What's the rating of the PS?
This table is representative of an ATX. Power Supply Ratings (amps)

you could probably power the masso with a computer power supply but if your looking to run stepper motors form this power supply they are not going to work well most likely. I would say you probably need something like a 48 volt DC supply to run a stepper motor system. the masso will work on 12v to 24v if I remember correctly.
it would be best to check your manuals for the rated amps of your drives and size your motor to match your dives and have a power supply that can also meet the voltage and amperage requirements of the system based on what your using in your build.

I currently have a computer PS in the construction phase of my build, it runs all of the solenoid valves, 12v switches/relays and 3 phase contactors to go with the water table. It also has a 5v out to run the alignment lasers with. One thing I have noticed about it is it is hypersensitive to tripping, it will trip before it blows a 5 amp fuse. This requires a power off/on cycle to reset, I will probably give it a try but don't want any unnecessary shut downs.
Here is the conversion process for those interested:

I was planning to run the Masso, the I/O to the DMM servo drive, couple of cooling fans and maybe a few limits switches ect.
The power supply I have is about 450W and has +12V to about 10A going on my memory, Plus a heap of power in the 3 & 5V so i was hopeful.
however since this post
My DMM Sales man says DYN4 needs 24V in the I/O so looks like Ill have to go to my local Jaycar man to get a new supply later today!
its a shame cause it fitted nicely in the box.
