Thanks, but I figured it out last night after about an hour of research. This is a ATX switching power supply. Grey becomes the green. It goes to black/ground. Brown and orange go to a red +5 volt. Now the kicker, in order for the power supply to run correctly, there must be a power load somewhere. Either get a resistor, or use a 12v 1156 bulb and socket and connect it to a +5 volt red wire and to a black ground. It wont be very bright, but it doesn't matter. That is what I used.

Purple blue and white are not used for any thing. Yellow is +12v and black is ground.

Disclaimer, this worked for me, but do this at your own risk. You know the world is run by lawyers anymore, and everybody is reduced to the level of the dumbest person on the planet.
