Is there a way to test your case?
Ok, here is the situation. I bought a cool looking Black Warrior case today, because it was on sale.
I don't have any other parts for the PC I am building, because I am saving up for them. I was wondering, is there a way to check whether my power supply works without having a motherboard. Some people I was talking to said to short-out the power button by using a paper clip, but I don't want to risk it. Any suggestions? |

just to check if the power supply works?
There are some kits out there, I'm sure I've seen some produced by Antec, but I don't think you'd want to spend more money to check if your power supply works. Other than that, I think you can just unplug one of your comps and plug this one in just to check. Not sure if there's any other way. Other people may have some ideas. |

NO you must jump the psu as the article tells you becouse the mother board is the one who turns the PSU on. not the silly switch.
