I did exactly what you want to do, and I have no nasty holes, and plug it in to the back of my case. I simply got the plug from an old at power supply, and cut a square in the back of my case to mount it. I then cut the plug from my Eheim pump, and soldered it to the plug that I put in the back of my case. Now I can simply plug a PC power cord into it and my pump is on.

In my next case I am going to make a relay w/ an override switch to turn it on if the PC is off. Mainly for testing and stuff.
