I like this dead man's switch idea for testing the power supply.
I don't think you're going to have much luck with this cooling method, almost every component in a power supply gets warm and needs some airflow to stay cool, but I'm interested in your results.

As far as doing this myself, no. I do mod PSU's a lot, including putting 2 PSUs in one psu case, making bench PSUs, cable sleeving, custom wiring, adding logic boards and potentiometers to bench PSUs, and in one case I actually modded one PSU to power both an Xbox 360 and a ps3, though that wasn't that pretty.
Off topic, I do recommend you make yourself a DIY bench PSU if you don't have one, which consists of a PSU modified with posts (for alligator clamps and whatnot) , and built in resistance to meet the PSUs minimum load at all times. It'll allow you to individually test components, and be useful for almost anything DC power related. If you are like me, you have tons of old PSUs laying around, which makes for a cheap bench power supply.
