Hey guys i just got my LEXA case today and it is even more beaitful than in the online pics!! i've been reading the forums about this case and know there have been a few problems scratched side panels, little dents nothing major....so i decided to inspect the case if a mobo is not installed will the PS still pwr up the fans and the temp readouts?? of course the readouts will be blank but....i just want to make sure EVERYTHING works. any ideas???
thanks for input

p.s. i never built a comp b4 so if this is obvious excuse my ignorance

The power supply will not turn on without a motherboard unless you short the green wire to the black wire (gnd) on the main power supply mobo connector. Once powered up the fans will light up and turn and you should see some sort of temperature on the LCD display. If the temps are blank, then the probes are most likely not working.

theres always a first time, btw as sir mandrake said, the green and black wires are the 4th and 6th ones on the top row of the MB connector, My nemesis elite itself came with a dent in the back, im not so happy bout it but i just cantsend it back from south america anymore without being worried that its even gona get there at all so im pretty much screwed
