Connect USB hub to PS

I was wondering if it was possible to hook up a powered USB hub to an old ATX power supply. I'm going to have some Gridseeds hooked up to it. I already know how to power my RaspberryPi for it, but now sure if I can hook up the hub. I'd like to power everything off of 1 PSU.

On the adapter that came with the hub it has the following:

Input: 100-240VAC 150mA
Output: 5.0V 1000ma +/-50ma

Your answer is right there. Needs 5VDC so provided the PSU actually delivers something close to 5V you should be fine. The only real hurdle will be making the molex -> <whatever> adaptor. I would recommend against directly modifying the PSU's cables, if you make it out of a molex extension cable then you can use it elsewhere.
