Go here to get the manual for the motherboard (you want to look for the front panel connector info):

http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=k8v-mx&p=1&os=

Socket 754 is an old AMD standard socket than has not been around for several years. It only worked with AMD Athlon/Duron processors (Socket 754) and was incompatible (form factor) with AMD's Socket 939 and Socket 940 processors.

and by that i believe you mean socket 755, also, if you only have a case and a mother board, you cant physically turn it on, there is no power, no operating system (windows), no ram or cpu, thus you cant turn it on! Theirs nothing to do besides buy a power supply, cpu, ram, storage

Great thanks for the extra information but do you know what i am talking about ... i am refering to a little power switch that you connect to the motherboard and click it and then it turns on i dont have the reset or any other ones that it comes with but do you think i can turn it on if i purchase just the power switch for it?

Ahhh; Thanks for that, I was most certain that he meant 755 as i mistyped it as 754 on a hackintosh forum the other day.

You do realize its a socket, like where the cpu pins connect to the motherboard? Im typing this off my dell optiplex 755 running OS X 10.8.2...
