Black to black, be it middle, side, top, etc.

It's cheaper to replace that way, and you don't need to be so precise. With a set of two, your odds of breaking both are quite low, and you don't have to get EVERY pin right the first time.

just a hunch. I actually prefer AT power supplies to ATX because, by default, they turn back on after a power outage. It's great if you're too poor for a UPS on your server.
