It was just a cheapo eBay jobbie, 2 quid delivered! There are a lot on there, not designed for PC switches but I tried it with an old PSU with the green and a black wire and it switches it on no issues.

haha no, I just make cables. Thanks for the comment though, this is just my first time doing it. I did a little bit of research on the etching thing, but I've got a workshop with various tools and worked in mechanical engineering for a few years before I started Pexon, so I've got a little bit of experience on that side of things

Hey guys, time for another update.

First off, I managed to find another vinyl sticker I got made up and never found a use for...

Weathered up with sand paper, lighter and some ink

Next up I manged to get another toggle fighter pilot style switch in. This one will just be for decoration

Soldered the wires up, so the LED can be wired up to a 9v battery.

Next up, time for cables! :D

Double wires and jumpers on the cables will be done with clear shrink and ink for weathering

All working first time with everything but the -5v lit (20th pin, not used on any PSUs anymore), so all good here :)

Now.... bare with me, I went a little overboard with the weathering on the cables .....

I used some electrical tape on the 2nd wire that took more weathering than the other wires, to make it look like someone has tried to repair the loom.

If its too OTT, I can easily change it... some feedback would be great!

As always, thanks for stopping by!

Yup, plan of knackering up the connectors too, don't worry about that ;)

I will just link to the methods I used, honestly, its really not difficult. But sure, I will see if I can get a video sorted at some point

The switches are in an upright position when they are on 360 :)

I ran out of time yesterday, I finished up at past 10 PM and had been in the workshop for 15 odd hours, so I couldn't get anymore done. I will be weathering the cables up some more over the weekend.
