sometimes you have to wait more then 2 hours for an answer. give it a day and let people who might know the answer a chance to see this thread.

If this is going to be a inline power switch between the wall and power supply, you are going to need a switch rated for AC, or find out what the switch you have is rated for AC.

10 amp seems a little on the low side to me, but you might be OK, really depends on the computer and monitor you have in there, I guess.
