That's the ticket.

But there is one gotcha with this -- some PSUs won't operate or don't
operate well with no or very low load (they need like 1-5% of rated
current, minimum). So check the voltages with no load, if all seems well,
good! otherwise, throw a 12V light bulb on the output and that should make
it behave.
