Hi there,


I am doing a quick test of CPU,Ram, Video and Mobo. I just need to see if it posts.. I Hooked things up and realized that I didn't have a Case with the little pin that we usually to power up a system. Is there anything I can do here? Like hot wiring the board or something?

Yeah, use your mobo's owners' manual to identify which pins the case's power switch wire would plug into, then do like shown here: photo The screwdriver tip makes a momentary electrical connection between the pins, same as the case's power button would do, and the mobo will then fire up the PSU.
