Do they? Need to know because the case I'm planning to use has an old AT PSU and power switch.

Thanks.:beer:

Just to clarify, I do not mean the power switch on the back of the PSU, I mean the power switch on the front of your computer. The press-depress power switch. :beer:

Well doesn't that just depend on your motherboard and case configuration? Usually you just run the LED switch from the power switch itself to the motherboard, correct?

Hmm.. well I got exactly what you meant at the first and I wasn't quite sure what these other folks were talking about ... ;)

My answer is, No, I have never seen a power supply packaged with a CASE power button switch. They are two seperate animals. :D Remember, the power switch connects to motherboard headers, which is connected to your power supply. You will probably have to order one specially or get one from an old case. :)

All my ATX cases have come with a power switch that connects to the motherboard headers. All AT cases I've seen come with a button that pushes the plunger part of the switch that is a part of an AT power supply.
