I am building a Set of LED lights, and I have an old deskpot power supply I would like to use...

My question is, How do I turn the power supply ON without it connected to anything??? :)

I found 2 of the pins that are 5v at rest. I'm assuming these are for the motherboard....
 
awesome that worked perfectly thanks !!

I'm super pyched. Now I can pick up some LEDs and start assembling ! :)

thanks again dude !
 
Some people say it's not good to run a power supply with little or no load. Not sure how true that is, but it's something to keep in mind if you're using a fancy-pants 3000W PSU.

I'm gonna be running a decent LED fishtank light settup. I'll prolly be drawing quite a few amps :)
