Details
Do you need to turn on an ATX power supply without a motherboard? This jump start switch replaces the paperclip and other rigged methods. It has a 24-pin female Molex connector that plugs onto the main cable of the power supply and spoofs the motherboard connection, and a round red rocker switch on a cable that turns the power supply on and off. The switch has a built-in red light.

Start a power supply without a motherboard
Plug the 24-pin connector onto the main cable of the power supply, flip the switch to I and the power supply starts. Flip it back to O to turn it off. This is the clean way to run a power supply on its own, without bridging pins by hand.
Made for water cooling and testing
The switch is handy for leak testing a new water cooling loop: power only the pump (and fans) from the power supply while the rest of the PC stays off, so a leak cannot reach powered parts. It also helps when you test a power supply, run a pump to fill and bleed a loop, or power fans and lighting on a bench.
Rocker switch on a cable
The round rocker switch sits at the end of a three-wire black cable, so you can keep it outside the case or on the bench while the 24-pin connector stays on the power supply cable. This version is the one with a red light.
