    I started building my first PC from scratch last night. The case I'm using is an Antec Fusion 430. It comes with a 430W PSU already installed. I tried plugging the PSU to the mains and switching it on (without any other connection to mobo/HD/DVD). I thought at this point the fan on the PSU should start but it didn't.
    Should the PSU fan have started?

    I'm very new to all this and I thought it might be a good starting point to have a working PSU. I'm going to get my hands on a multi meter this evening to see what's the output from the PSU.

    No your psu won't start.
    If you want to start it without youer motherboard you need to get a wires and put it into the green wires pin and the other end of the wire into the black wires pin next to it.

    Excellent - thanks for that blackgold.
    I don't really want to start the PSU without being connected to the motherboard, I just thought it might be possible.

    So the PSU should start as when I connect the 24 pin power plug to the motherboard, right?
