I am a total noob. Anyway, I'm in the middle of building this NES PC. So far, I have bought the dremelled the case, and I have bought a motherboard. I haven't put anything in the case yet, but I now need to make sure the mother board turns on. THATS THE PROBLEM. How do I turn it on?? I don't have on/off/reset switches on it, so how do I do it? Please help. This project is moving WAAAAYYY too slowly.

This (http://video.about.com/pcsupport/motherboard-mov.htm) basically explains it. so you may need a power button and connector to the motherboard if it didn't come with one.

if you hook it all up, you can jump it using a flathead screwdriver and touch the thwo pins that are for the power switch

is it a micro Atx motherboard? The reason I ask is that you can mod the NES's Power Button to Power on the Computer. I modded the one for my NES case to run like a micro ATX Case switch. I can help you with it if you want.

OK, I tried the screwdriver thing. NOTHING. Nothing happened. Its possible that my adapter for the power supply is just broken, but besides that, does this mean that my mobo is not functional??
