Can't you use the 5v a USB cable (or iPac) supplies?  Do those things need 12v?  You'd probably be best to make a custom connection.  Use a 6-pin connector that you make, for the 4 USB connections and some powers.

Pins 14 and 15 on an ATX PSU will simulate a load and power up the PSU.

Here's the pinout for a std ATX PSU



Hope it helps

Yup... Connect a wire between the green wire & a black wire...
It'll work then.
