That runs a smallish chance that the very light load on the 5 volt line would 
let it go wild.  You may want to add a BIG 1 ohm resistor to ground from the 5 
volt line so it draws about 5 amps, which should satisfy nearly all of them.  
Bear in mind that would be 25 watts of heat though.  Mount it against the top 
of the case and have a place to keep your coffee warm. :)
