Power button

[Ummeli]

I just bought some parts to set up a new PC. I decided to build a test bench to use it on but just remembered that I will need a power button, is there any way to bridge a board to power it on without a button (until I can get one shipped)

Just short the two power button pins with a piece of metal. A screwdriver would work perfectly.

Just short the power connectors on the motherboard with a phillips head or, and this is somewhat inelegant, you could short the power connectors and then use the PSU's power button as the system power button

Or just shut down Windows properly?  And not like a Neanderthal

That is perhaps the best solution I've heard so far.
