Sup fellas, I am in the process of making my h20 setup, I have all the parts and ideas together. However, I have found a bump in the road. I have one case which has my gear in it (mobo, cpu, etc.) which will only house the waterblock via tubes coming thru the back. In a little case which will be to its side is the Rad, Res, Pump. I have a neon in the case as well as panaflo l1a 120 on the heatercore. I would like to avoid having power cords going between the two computers so is there any way i can use an old power supply to power the fan/neon? I was under the impression that for the psu to be on it needed to be plugged into the mobo and turned on via the jumpers, is there a way to get around it to i can have a switch for the psu on/off without the mobo?
