Just my 2 cents and a staple ... A staple bent properly and wedged in the crimp part of the pin between the green wire to a black wire does the trick for me. Now I turn that machine on via the power switch on the back of the power supply which ATX power supply people are now adding. I have a

You can always hotwire the supply; go dig up a pinout for the ATX power connector and you'll see that if you ground the power-on line the PSU will come up... It's not just a ground, the line that brings up the power is a momentary switch, so a longish (about 1/2 second) pulse
