As the title says, I am looking for a rocker switch (looks like what goes in a PC power supply), but I am not having any luck finding what I need because its dimensions need to be 0.75" x 0.5" and my searching skills are not up to par today.

Can anyone recommend a good website to search for rocker switches of specific dimensions?

Thanks in advance.

Third one down on the left would work, but I want to find a SPST for a simpler, quicker installation.

You don't have to wire a DPDT switch to be DPDT, just put the AC hot on an outer contact and the lamp wire on the center contact of the same row.

What color? There should be a lot of them at Digikey.com and they have reasonable ~ $2 USPS shipping for orders under (8 oz., IIRC).
