..I butchered a USB cable and re-routed the 5v power to a USB device (Matrix Orbital LCD) from the USB port, to a 5v output from a molex connector for example? Would that play havoc with the USB device being detected, or make something go bang in a plume of smoke?
The reason I want to do this is that my mobo always provides power to USB when the PC is off and there's no way to disable this as far as I can see, so I'm trying to think of possible solutions

Basically on the NF7 you need to change some jumpers on the mobo which turns the USB ports from powered / wake uppable to not powered.
