I want to add some lights to my case, and I also want to install some military toggles. I was wondering if anybody knew how to wire the toggles to the lights.

You using the rotary-detent and snap-action switches?

I have had a thought about using a military toggle switch for powering a pc on and off. This idea required a little electronics know-how which I have mostly none of. But Anyway, there is a electronic component that when power is sent to a middle connection it will open a gate to send current through. So why could you use that to make a military toggle switch work? Here is a rough sketch to better explain.

If I am wrong in anyway about this, please correct it.
