No, this isn't a troll thread. Tomorrow, I will have accrued enough spare computer components to build another computer out of the old parts. I have everything except the case. The lack of a case means a lack of an on button.

Am I right in thinking I just have to close the contacts on that molex-shaped cable that comes out of the PSU and only has 2 wires going into it?

Cheers. :D
 
So what does that molex shaped cable do? I know it plugs into something on the front panel.

Edit: and where's the power header?

Molex plugs go into Hard drives and optical drives, the power switch header will be far far smaller.



Refer to your manual.

I'm talking about the one which only has 2 wires going into it and plugs into the front panel. Hard drive ones have more.
