Author Topic: PC Power Switch for cab (Read 1670 times)

Hello,

I would like to have the PC power button on the outside of my cab. I have been looking through an electronics parts catalogue and wondering what type of switches I could use.

Could I just connect the two wires to the 2 poles and just use a push button with a microswitch.

Here are some links to a few possibilities that I was thinking of.

Why not just use an arcade button? One the same color as the cab would be nice.

Thanks for yor reply.

Is it possible to just connect the two wires to the microswitch of an arcade button then ?.

Yes - just like a button for your control panel

As long as your PC has a button and not a switch. The old ones used to have switches.
