    atx power switch for test bench

    I'm planning to set up a little test bench for mobo, cpu, memory etc. I could set them up in an open carboad box or a piece of wooden board or something. my concern is if there's an easier way to use somthing as a power button to the mobo. Should I spare an old case just for the power button?

    Question on C.O.D (Collect on delivery)

    I know... that's the best way for me. But it's not an option. I guess he had a bad experience with sending payment up front or something. I'm asking if there's a risk involved for me to do COD if that's the only option to do the transaction.
