I vaguely remember there being some info on which pins you need to bridge (on the motherboard's power supply connector) to make a modern PC power unit start up without the rest of the computer on this site www.dansdata.com <br /> <br />Interestingly, older PC power supplies might be a better idea. The design of the power supply changed in the 1990's from the old type (known as AT) where there was a power on/off switch on the power supply to the modern type (known as ATX) where the power supply is switched on/off by a press switch connected to the motherboard. Older power supplies wouldn't need any jumpers for this reason, and it's usually fairly simple to find an old, unwanted PC with a good power supply that you can "recycle".
