Discovered how to get to the Seperatist ship in Lego Star Wars III. Went to turn on system. Discovered the BiOS is having a sick day. Digging down to my CMOS jumper is a bitch. So I made a switch on long cables for if it happens again.

Gonna get some liquid electrical tape and shrink tubes eventually. Find a place to mount it too.

If you mounted that in the box that would be cool.

It should be a red button under a flip-up transparent cover. Just sayin.

If I come across a hatted switch in my travels I'll be sure to pick one up.

Are you going to make a hole in the case and mount the switch so it's accessible from the outside? Somewhere at the back, so it doesn't get switched by accident (if mounted in plain sight).

That would be ideal Mac. Instead of modifying the case. I mount it in or on something like a project box, and fasten it to the case since there is a gazillion air vent holes on the back.

It's human instinct to flick or push things, stick it in the back or behind a panel that opens.
