Jumping a PSU/Running a rig W/O a case.

Myystical1 · 22-October-04, 02:27 PM

Right now Im building a good 'ol pentium I system up in my room, but was too cheap to buy a new case so Im goin caseless. Heres my only problem: Since I dont have a power switch, Ive had to jump the PSU to get it running. Ive successfully done this by attaching the green wire to any black one with a wire, and it starts the PSU. But, then i can't plug it into the motherboard without unplugging the wire that is jumping the PSU and turning the PSU off. SO can anyone help me out on how to get this workin? thanks

Use any small metal object to manually jump the power switch
until the PSU powers up, then remove the metal object quickly.

A small screwdriver does this well.

You can dumpster dive a power switch so I suggest you go about attaining one.
