I am looking to replace my boring old computer power switch with one more exotic. Does anyoby know what kind of switch it is? I think it is a momentary on/off switch, but i cannot remeber. Thanks in advance.

Try looking for a bomber toggle switch. MaxPC had one on their rig of the month a couple of months ago. Sweet setup.

No need to solder, just a crimp-on ***** connector would do the job.

i was going to use the missile arm style switches, but then started to see them all over the case modding scene, so I decided to branch off and try something new. i will post pics when it is done. :D

Yeah, you should be able to. Most hardware stores carry run-of-the-mill connectors and crimpers. Check out their electrical departments. Just be sure you know the correct gauge of wires for your connector. I believe most power switche leads are between 22 and 24 AWG.

Hmmmmm, ****** and connectors... it all seems to complicated. i think I'll just solder the leads together.
