HELP! bay cover to mount ccfl switches

Solarflair · 12-December-04, 01:53 AM

I need some assistance with a project im doing. im trying to mount all my cathode switches on a bay drive cover. i have like 3 sets and they all have different kind of switches. I need some help finding some good looking switches.

ive search alot of electronic places but the switches they have are so industrial-like, very boring looking switches. im looking for a set of round silver or chrome swtiches that'll fit 3.5 bay cover. Also ill need to find a kind that has some sort of holder like a bezel or molding, so it would look more clean and professional. Does anyone know of any places that might help me in this noble quest?

Welcome to PR!

This is about all I could find, but it's a push button. Don't know if you are going to find any place that would sell silver or chrome rocker switches (which is what I assume you want). Might have to find a custom web site for something like that.

Hope this helps,

Rob

Hey thanks for the warm welcome. That is precisely what i was looking for. i wanted something round, push button. i despise rocker and flip switches so much. all of the pcmod shops sports alot of rockers and military switches only. i was looking for the sqeaky clean look, similar to a 4-knob fan controller look.

Now my next challenge is to mount them and make it look professionally pimp.

The hardest part is getting the holes drilled straight and appropriately spaced. Measure sixteen times, drill a very small pilot hole, then drill the main hole.

You will do fine.
