I know if you connect the green and black wire it'll start up, but is this how people normally do it without a case? I was thinking of just soldering a little wire on the back of the mobo (nf7-s) connecting those two, so that way I wouldn't actually have to mod the psu. Is there any other ways to do this?

you just bridge the 2 pins that are labeled as Power Switch on the mobo (2 of the pins that are around where the mobo connects to case)
just connect it with a screw driver and your off (you dont have to leave the screwdriver there while its on)

you can use a jumper to bridge the power switch header on the BERG connectors, but don't leave the jumper on or the machine will turn off 5 seconds later.

Could someone point out where it is I don't know exactly what I'm supposed to connect:

Edit: Is it just the 2 that you normally put the powersw on? So if the psu is hooked up, and I just connect those two, it'll start up?
