Untrue- an ATX-standard power supply has a "soft" switch- it's the green wire that is the fourth over that needs to be shorted to ground (black) to turn it on- a paper clip or simple wire works fine :) On Fri, Jun 17, 2011 at 1:08 PM, Erik <vandepol.erik@...> wrote: > > > Besides the cooling issue (and the noise of the fan!), don't forget that a PC power supply is normally controlled from the motherboard.
