Well, that's true and not...
There are actually two pins on the ATX plug that when bridged, will turn
the power supply on.  I can't remember which two they are off the top of
my head, but I know that i figured it out at work a couple months ago, and
it only took me a few minutes to figure out.  There are diagrams out
there...just look for "spower" or "soft power" or something of the sort.
Anyway, I hope that was at least a little help.
