Thread: Custom Case Power Controls

    Default Re: Custom Case Power Controls

    Hate to jump in on someone else's topic, but I want to use a Military style Single Pole Single Throw switch. http://www.xoxide.com/militaryswitch.html
    I know nothing about electronics. Is this a "momentary switch" or will I have to switch it off once the pc boots?

    Hi there Steve--I have the same switch and it's not a momentary--I guess they are used for sequencing operations like arming weapons.

    This is not a momentary switch, and is not recommended by this fish to be used for PC power on/off. It is recommended that said switch used for lighting/fan control.

    The opinions expressed by this fish do not reflect his own personal opinions. Void where prohibitted, and no walking on the grass.

    If you REALLY want a switch like that.

    1) buy that one, and replace the toggle with this ON-Off-(ON) toggle: http://www.cpperformance.com/detail.aspx?ID=3878
    2) try to find that houseing somwhere else, ebay maybe, army surplus story maybe, I don't know lots of places "could" have them. Only one I found was like that but it cost more than the switch you posted link: http://store.summitracing.com/defaul...art=SUM-G3902C
