I've got this case for a pensioner I'm building a machine for
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-063-OP

It's got the basic PSU. There is a green and white wire that I'm not sure where to put it. It has only got 2 pins...that I can see. Is that right?

Does it go into one of the 4 point power leads like this one?

I tried to power up but got nothing. The green and white wire comes from the front panel "power button"
 
It will fit into the molex connector you've shown, yes. When you say you get nothing on power up, you mean when you push the power button nothing happens?
 
Looking at the pic on the Ocuk web page the power button might have a led around it, this might be the power lead the led.
 
Yeah nothing happens, power supply works fine in my own pc but nothing happens when I plug it into this machine. I press the power button and nothing...not a jot.
 
See my reply above, there should be another cable coming from the front of the case which plugs into the motherboards front panel header.

Edit: had a better look, see your cables going to the front I/O headers.
 
If I'd brains...I'd be dangerous :o


Had the reset and power on leads in the wrong slots :o


so Reset...turned it on and Power on...reset it lol.

Fixed now and disaster averted lol. Thanks for your help everyone. Doh!!!!
