how would i turn on a pc power supply w/o connecting it to a motherboard? I have a extra atx power supply i want to use to power some stuff.

generally, green-->any of the grounds (black) with a paperclip

"...you can trick into thinking it plugged into a mobo by connecting the green and any black wire using a bent paperclip - not required for non-ATX psu's. "

Don't let it run for too long without a load though....

Lick as much of the inside as possible! > PSU

Play the right music and complement it on its beauty. Then stick your tounge in its ear.
