rocker switches

[gwildor]

hey everyone! long time reader first time poster..

i'm currently turning one of my old pcs into a rack system and i'm going to make my own case for the rack.. see pics for rack:

now i want to create my own power switches for the case. I of course have read the faq:
http://www.hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1026117193&postcount=7 concerning the switch. However my question is that I don't want to take the two-lead cable from the existing switch on my old computer case as i'm going to use that case for something else..

how do I create my own? I have a SPST rocker switch.. I'm assuming I use just 5v speaker cable?

and do you know where I can buy the two prong little molex connectors?

I guess the most common answer i'm going to get is to buy a new cheap case and rip the two-lead cable from it.. but i'm hoping for a cheaper solutions..

Ideas/Suggestions!
Thanks
Gwildor

An ATX power switch is a momentary switch - the contacts are only closed for a moment. I figured the faq would have mentioned that. In any case, you won't be able to use a rocker switch unless you feel like flipping it on then off in about a second or if you want to use some external circuitry. So just get a momentary switch. I don't really know what 5v speaker cable is, but the ATX power switch is a low voltage, low current circuit so you can pretty much use any wire. Anyway, the easiest and cheapest way would probably be to just go to a local computer shop and get one from them. They'll probably give you one for free.
