Case Lights On/Off Switch

[madhandles]

Ok I got 6 LEDS in the front of my computer case. I want to be able to turn them off and on with a switch. I opened up my computer and noticed that the wires running from the LEDS are connected to the back of a 4-pin molex which is obviously connected to the PSU. I was wondering how I can use a switch to turn power on/off to that 4-pin molex. What about these rocker switches below:

They don't specify how to use them, but I was thinking that all you have to do is just connect them to the back of the 4-pin molex. Can anyone confirm this? Any help is appreciated.

I'd suggest looking at these switches too... You CAN call/contact the people at frozencpu and ask them the question as to how you would do what you're thinking. They'll give you the strait scoop as to if the products they carry will do the job or not. If not, chances are the will be able to tell you what you'll need to get.

Essentially, all switches just interrupt the live feed to the item being controlled. Just like the lite switch on your wall does... Depending on how many wires are on the molex connection will determine how easy it will be for you. Then it's just a matter of connecting the correct wire to the switch for it to break on demand.

I just found the following:

It will allow me to connect just about any device with a 4-pin connection and I will have a switch to turn it on and off correct?

Looks that way...
