Possible related question:
I'm wanting to make an arcade pushbutton my power switch...the current power switch on my PC not only allows me to start the computer with one push, but it also allows me to shut down windows (properly) by pushing it once...ok...so I'm looking at the PC's power switch mechanism, and there are 3 wires coming out:
green/black wire: goes to the actual switch.
green/red wire: goes to an LED
red/black wire: goes to another LED.
I'm assuming I'd need to extend the green/black wire to the pushbutton/microswitch I'm wanting to use...I'm just not sure as to where I should run each wire on the microswitch.
When I say green/black, I mean that it's a green insulated wire, and a black insulated wire, and they're twisted together...
I wish I had a cam so I could take a pic of what I'm talking about.
