Haven't build a PC in about 5 years and I ran across a weird power plug on the board. I'm not done putting the PC together yet but i was just curious as to why this is halfway plugged up?

current board: ASUS M4A79 Deluxe AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 790FX ATX AMD Motherboard

Typically they're used to provide extra power to the motherboard to help stability.

why cap it? why not leave it uncapped and make people buy a big enough power supply?
