multible start/restart switches (like cool master 20 core)

[Meelis S]

I need multible start/restart switches (like cool master 20 core).
I need to put multible motherboards in 1 chase. Where can i get switches for them, maybe leds to.

:sun::thumbsup:

Wouldn't it be simpler to find something here?

When i first heard about Cray Computer it cost about 20000$.
I configured cheaper 6000$ but it was slow (dual cpu).

I plan to build something cheaper. Maybe first 6 to 8 nodes (Q9550 8GB ddr2), some cheap HD's maybe, shared dvdrw drive, watercooling, 8-port KVM Switch, single psu or 2 with dc 2 dc converters on 12V rails, Micro-ATX motherboards.

How about
Something like that

Was the internet invented back in 1999, like such a ages ago. :Q

How about buying a bunch of cheap SPST momentary pushbuttons and LEDs and then drilling some holes into the blank faceplate of a 5¼" drive bay to mount them in a row? Some pics for inspiration?

LOL that switch reminds me of what Dave says about two minutes into this video here:

Zap thank you for a good idea.

Rubycon don't you think that Dave is a evil scientist with psycho laugh. And long life for free cars.

Dave is great. I've learned a lot by hanging out with folks like him. 🙂

Here's another one.

power/reset switches from Nintendo

Only one is momentary, so you need to buy twice as many as you need. Toss the half that are NOT momentary but keep the buttons. Voila! $1 for five switches with your choice of POWER or RESET printed on the button.

You should be able to pull the wire that rides on the cam on the outside of the latching switch, to turn it into a momentary. 🙂
