Bwahahaha! Sucess!

When I first tried it, nothing. Nada. So I resigned to getting a mobo,
and possibly a switch as per the post that suggested one might be
needed.

But I remembered a thread on another forum I looked at a while back,
where someone actually made a diagram to follow, so I could look at it
again since talking to you guys. I couldn't find it, but I did find
this. -

So now, at the bequest of these fine gentlemen, I now have what is
basically a paperclip stuck in the green mobo pinout, curving into a
black pinout. Fired right up.

What I am now wondering, is what would be the best way of insulating
said paperclip? Electrical tape? Using an insulated wire instead of a
metal object? Will it get hot? Hope not. Should I touch it and see what
happens?

Piece of insulated wire should be fine... and no, it won't get hot.
