I use a paperclip but what i did was cut it to size and bent it. then I used heatshrink on the one part of it.

I just shove that in when the psu is turned off on the back of the unit. When I am ready to go just flick teh switch and viola it on lol.

yeah im pretty sure paperclip and paperclip is the same thing go ahead and try it. make sure the on/off switch is turned on in the back of the psu (if there is one)

NO!, make sure its OFF!@#!!! when you shove the paperclip in. And if there is no on\off switch unplug it completely (which you should do either way).

i meant make sure its on after he shorts it out. it really wont hurt even if its turned on because the electrons will flow through the metal wire anyways, and there are no high voltages there to start with either. and if you consider the real life situation, the psu is always on and you short it out like that. i wouldnt worry
