My friend is adding some lights to his case (cold cat, el wire, etc.) and he wants to be able to control all the different lights from the front of his case. He asked me what he should get but I wasn't sure cause I only have one cold cat with a rocker switch that I run out the back of my case. I know it is possible to use a baybus and just not switch it to the slow/variable setting (might damage lights supposedly). I was wondering if anyone has found a better way of controlling or found a baybus that has just on/off settings. I saw a front mount for rocker switches but I can't remember the site sad.gif . If you have any suggestions please reply. Thanks!

If he has a spare bay with a bay cover he can make his own baybus. He just needs to take the bay cover and cut holes in it that will fit the switches and that they can secure to (best to practise once or twice on a spare sheet of metal or something).

It generally looks best if he has all the same type of switch, or enough of each type of switch to make a symmetrical pattern of switches.

If you want, you can even add LEDs to the switches to give each switch a power on/off light.
