So thanks in advance for your tolerance.

I want to use a power supply and a peripheral both independant of
my actual pc. Since the power supply isn't connected to a
motherboard, no electricity is generated.

Someone knows how to simulate the presence of a motherboard with
the sole connectors of the power supply ?

There are better forums/newsgroups - they likely do not contain "Microsoft"
in their title. ;-) You could try the "microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware"
newsgroup - but...

Anyway - you can either get a different power supply (older type that uses a
mechanical button) or figure out the wiring needed to short yours so it
works with a mechanical button. How to do that EXACTLY likely depends on
the particular power supply in question. ;-)

Your best bets will be electronics forums, google searches for schematics,
etc.
