how did this happen?

I was wondering why the hell my computer was a little unstable, then I decided to throw out the crappy 600NT case and put the components in the superflower case, when I discovered that I had forgotten to plug in the ATX 12v connector(the 4 pin ones that goes next to the CPU)!!! I thought the computer wont post without it... what gives?

AMD SP2800 64bit
Gigabite K8NE
MSI 6600TD 128
Hitachi 60G
512 Kingston DDR400
Gigabyte DVD-RW
Enermax Noisetaker 380w
