Case has no POWER button!!

[bleuiko]

I just bought a computer case from someone... and it would seem that during shipping... the power button broke... anyone know where I can get a replacement?

Its a cheapo case... so no brand.. i just need a generic power switch... but dunno where to get it or what they are called! help!

Could always use a set of pliers and run them thru the power switch pins, hehe.

If it's an ATX case, you can substitute any momentary-contact switch from Radio Shack, etc. If it's a name-brand case, you can also try the manufacturer and see if they'll be nice and sell you a switch separately.

Now I think about it, the package wording will probably be "Momentary-On". There'll probably be toggle and pushbutton versions.
