Hello,

You wish to power your lcd monitor with your spare PC power supply? Are you even sure the voltage(s) the LCD requires is 12 and/or 5 volts DC?
If you are sure and wish to proceed, you do so under your own risk, you would mount a switch between the green wire (PS_on) and one of the black (ground) wires on the 20/24 pin motherboard connector.

Be sure the switch is not a momentary contact; the psu will shut off when ground is removed. Also be aware that some PSU's require a load be on the line, an old harddrive will do.

Good luck.
