Switches for case lights.

[NKDietrich]

So, I need a couple switches to turn cathodes on and off. I'm not really sure what the cheap option is that doesn't require me to solder things or drill holes.

Ideally here's what I would like, though I understand if there's no perfect solution:

5.25" Bay.
2+ On/Off Switches (no rheostat or 3 position switches)
Sleeved and Molex'd.
With either no LEDs or white LEDs.
Preferably not $50-100 bucks as some websites seem to think this sort of thing is worth.

I'm not completely averse to taking out the hole saw to one of my front panel inserts if I have to, I guess!

Two of these.

Sleeved rockers

But they will require you to drill the holes in your 5.25 bay covers. You can find cheap rockers elseware and wire your own, but will require some soldering, unless you can find screw terminals.

I prefer these. But again will require some self wiring, unless you want to pay double for sleaved and molexed.

Vandal latching switch

If you really are just unable to drill holes, you can get these for a ridiculous price given what they are.

Switch Plate

Shop around you can find more of the same at FrozenCpu, Jabtech, etc.

Vandal latching switch

Those are pretty sexy. Now the pre-wired momentary versions have motherboard headers in the pictures, are the latching ones wired with a Molex?

Look at this plate (Has hole covers for un-used holes):

The latching cable: http://www.performance-pcs.com/cata...oduct_info&cPath=60_374_375&products_id=27318

Call or email them and ask if the prewired latching is molex or headers or just buy the latching switch and cable and solder it.
