Motherboard power switch tester?

Shrapnel · 24 Jan 2008 at 13:35

Hi Peeps,

Does anyone know a place that sells a power-on switch for a motherboard so I can run it on a table without putting it in a case. I know that I could just short out the pins to get it to turn on, but I'd prefer to have a proper switch because my handys can be a bit shaky.

Alternatively, does anyone know where I can buy the plugs for the cases so I can make my own?

Cheers

Bulgin sell some posh stuff like this, tho I can't find the 2-Pin Power SW in the UK.
Couldn't you just get an old case and rip it apart?

Yeah, could do but seems a shame if the case is still functioning.

Anyone got an old smashed up case that they can butch for me?
