Get a 40W to 100W incandescent light bulb and some wire. See attached diagram for wiring (all MS Paint style
).
NOTE:
BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL AROUND THE BULB WHEN IT'S PLUGGED IN!

No, because the light bulb is in series with the PSU. So if any component in the PSU tries to pull too much current due to a fault, the impedance of the PSU will become much lower relative to the bulb's impedance. This will make the light bulb glow. It pretty much works like a simple series resistor voltage divider.
