: : Is it an ATX Power supply. Where the power switch plugs into the motherboard. If so, this is the way I run mine. I just wired a happ button to the motherboard Power Jumper. All the button does on ATX power supplies, is shorts the jumper and causes it to power.

: couldn't you just put a jumper on the pins? (maybe that isn't what you need, but wouldn't it work for Eric?)

Well on my computer the power button acts like a suspend/resume button when just pressed. If I hold it down (like a jumper would) it shuts off the computer in about 7 seconds. I think your idea would work to start the computer booting but the it would probably shut off again in 5-10 seconds. Another idea is some motherboards have a bios setting where pressing any key on the keyboard will turn the computer on.
