we use a conductive copper spray on "paint" at work for a ground plane in our plastic boxes. same type of thing could work i suppose for circuit runs.

Thread jack.....


Maybe it could be used as a power on button, too. Tie it into a transistor, and you might get enough current to turn a motherboard on.

Thank you for your inputs some food for thought Xr4man here. :) Amev cool suggestion think making a test bed first may be my first step,small steps before giant leap re;plexi breadboard also you are correct in the line of thinking on what i am trying to do as the implications can be cool for what i want to achieve :)
