Does anyone know where I can purchase atx power and restart wires (with or without switches attached)? Or does anyone have a link to a site that explains how to make the wires?

I've looked at Fry's, and they have something similar to what I need; but they also want like $5.00 for it, and I don't like the included switch.

Thanks!

EDIT: just realized this should go in the electronics sub-forum..my bad..

You could cut the switch off and solder a new one on, but $5 is kinda steep for some wire and a .100" header connector.

probably has the headers and they should be cheaper. As for wire, any wire will do. Tear up an old pair of headphones that you don't use and you'll get usable wire that will work for your needs.
