romeo55 Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 Yes, some of you remember my ghetto guide on how to make a power switch key to your comp using a box and an old vga cable. Now, i've got some better parts Heres the things i'll be using: Electric Switch key from an EZ Go Golf Cart (1/2") Tools, pliers, vice grip, drill press, 1/2" bit blood As you can already see, i used the CD drive cover, and drilled the 1/2" hole. Next step was to install the key itself. I ran into a problem trying to tight the thing down... but nothing my trusty needle nosed pliers couldn't handle Finished: Now i have to see if i can solder these to my case without breaking *More to come Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

romeo55 Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 (edited) Hehe thanks Guys Now the moment you've all been waiting for, the wiring and the finished product Prying the front panel off, i only had about 3" of wire to work with.... because i was to lazy to try and unplug it from the mobo So i went ahead and wired it to the removable connectors. No problems so far Although, while trying to strip the wires from the power button.... the stupid sharp edges of the case got me More blood FTW in the end, i won out. As you can see, i just wrapped it in and around the front panel to the drive bays. HOORAY it works Now no one can get into my case AND turn it on Edited November 12, 2006 by The Unforgivin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeble Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 That's awesome! What case do you have? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
romeo55 Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 That's awesome! What case do you have? This particular one is an Apevia X-Pleasure (a Chemning variant) this can be done to most everything. You can find one of these in an old goccart, motor bike, scooter, anything electrical that requires a key (in my case, a golf cart ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xPETEZx Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 !! I done this very mod to my last PC (MESSY!) and with the help of one of my house mate engineering students managed to do it on my current case. Much cleaner job the second time round Heres some piccies of how I done it: (excuse the poor picture quality, only had my phone to hand ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuJuMaN89 Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 its better if u could have put the key switch where the current power button is Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
