I have been looking all day to replace a broken power switch, and the closest I have gotten was a switch for a case mod. I want a standard replacement switch. The little 2 wire thing that plugs into the motherboard with the little push button at the other end that's usually fixed to the case. Searching is a pain, as everything HAS a power switch, so a search is largely ineffective and lists half of the stores inventory. Does anybody know an outlet for these shipping CONUS? I want to buy several, but as of now, it looks like it may not be worth the search any longer. I may just have to buy a new case.

Fry's is what Radio shack only ever dreamed of being, to bad I am a few thousand miles from Cally. I am only near a Best Buy, no Compusa. I checked CompUSA's website though and came up empty.
But thanks there, I do believe that will work! I looks too big, but it is definately close. The one I am replacing is smaller, and kinda cube shaped with the button only sticking out 1/8 inch. Milpitas, I am definately on the wrong coast.

Just about any decent electronics shop(ie not radio shack) will have those. Also, check local computer shops. They'll probably have a pile of them. Just crack open your phone book and call a few places; you should be able to find one pretty quickly. Reset switches out of old AT cases work quite well as ATX power switches, so there's another option.

and

They came today and look really cool. I haven't gotten a chance to try them because I'm still working on the mod to mount them and stuff. They are pretty damn sturdy. The ones pictured are a little different however. The ones i got have screws on the back with a hole in them to put the wires. Its a better design IMO.
My theme is all blue and that's why I got those. I really liked this one when I saw it; it reminded me of HAL. Now that would make for a cool mod. I'm sure its been done, but still very cool idea. I wish my theme was red so I could get it
