Basically a resistance that simulates the computer, the bit being powered by the PSU. A set of resistors that simulate the resistance of the various voltage rails of the power supply.
It's a lot safer than using the real computer to trouble shoot the power supply - if it starts kicking off weird and wonderful voltages, your real equipment doesn't get damaged.
