Terminal_Drop Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 Anybody know where i can find a switch that's molded into a rear pci cover? I know they sell them with other things but i just need the switch. Thanks for the help Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
intel_inside Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 define switch ? ..power switch ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overclocker16 Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 Taking a guess it's a power switch. You could just buy a little switch and cut a hole for it to fit in the little cover, then screw it down and wire it to where you need to and you should be good to go.

intel_inside Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 ...yeah id say that would be your best bet...ive never seen switches sold by themselves in a pci cover like that..maybe i jus havent looked hard enough Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trakfast11 Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 you might find this crazy, but i remembering seeing a site that sold this built into a pci cover no more than 2 weeks ago. There were two black switches on the pci cover that looked identical to the black on/off switch that you would find on the back of an ATX compliant psu. Those do exist and i remember that it was something that you could buy that they said could be used to turn on/off cathoded lights in your system or for other things. I'd have to go through my history to find it. Can't recall what site i saw this at off hand. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
intel_inside Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 i have seen those pci covers with reostats built in nothing like that though...i hope you find that site sounds neat Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psywar Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 normally those switches come with cold cathrodes.. when I bought mine it had it.. all they are are regular 2 position switches.. and there just drilled in to the back of a pci cover.. u could prolly save urself some cash.. get urself a 2 position switch at radio shack and drill it in to ur pci cover..

Bassdude1000 Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 honestly though why would you want a cold cathode switch on the back of ur pci slot? don't you think it would be a little better on the front/side of your case, where it is easilly accesible. just my opinion, though.

Terminal_Drop Posted April 16, 2003 Posted April 16, 2003 The reason that i wanted a pci type power switch was so i woulden't have to drill in my case. And i need a switch for 2 cold cathode fan grills i just got. If anybody knows where i can find one let me know thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
