Safer to take out all the PSU connectors and jump start the PSU on the ATX plug by shorting green to black with a paperclip or piece of wire.
 
i just dug out an old psu and done that , so far so good 5mins running and 95% of the bubbles have gone , i see what its like after the gig
 
You don't have to do this but its best to leak test the set-up for at least 12 hours just to make sure... though i don't even bother... its just for safety reasons
