Hey, I've had an x-dreamer 2 for over a year now... but the problem is, I leave the lights turned off (unplugged) due to the fact that the case is in my bedroom and I can't sleep with it on.

My question is: Is there a switch for 4-pin molex connectors? Is there any way to make a switch? :?

Yes there is my friend. heres what you could do. Id suggest a rocker switch. Theyre very sleek, and msot have a lil led that shows you its on, wich can bed any color to match your case lighting.

Theres an example. What you would do is connect the ground directly to your light, but run the voltage through the switch. Diagram below.

you may get a better diagram but thats what I made up for ya lol. For the rocker switch theres 2 pins on the abck, just conenct the 12 or 5 volt lead from the PSU to the top pin, and then run a wire to the light molex out the bottom pin. Someone else may be able to help you more.

Be careful though alot of times if you have a light on the switch then you also need to have a ground wire going to the switch. Make sure that you read the instructions with the switch!
