jroutma: i do not agree: with that solution it's so easy to forget to plug the pump. And it's not elegant, you have the pump wire sticking out...
Cheeseball: most pumps are 110V. All you have to do is to use the back plug on your PSU -> connect a mains wire to the three prongs sticking out of the plug inside the PSU casing. Then use a relay *WITH* a bypass switch.
That way, if your power on your comp, you're 100% sure that your pump is on, and you can as well let the pump run 24/24 or power it on without the PC for those filling / bleeding sessions.
