booting computer outside of case

[dud2k]

hey
is there a way to boot the computer outside of the case? or do you have to connect the power switch, and those LED lights to the motherboard?

Sure there is.. just find a way to connect the PSU to the mobo and all the other necessary cables and such.

but how would u switch it off and on, without using the case?

 

[CdnMade]

all you neeed to do is short the 2 pins where the switch goes for a sec then it will start

 

[dud2k]

ahh ok thanks.
when u say short, do u mean just put a jumper over it?

A jumper will do, but a piece of metal (screwdriver works great) is perhaps a better choice.

I have tested a few systems caseless on my shelf before, I actually removed the switch from a spare case I had and used that. Most of them will just unclip.

and to power off just remove the jumper?
