military flip toggle power switch

[purplehippo]

Is it possible to use those military flip toggle things to turn on/off your computer? I think I've seen those before. How would you install it? Btw, I'm new to TBCS.

The Military flip switches would be better suited for lights and fans that you dont want on all of the time.

Reason is as a power switch you need a momentary switch and if used the flip switch you would have aprox 4 secs to turn it off again or your machine will turn off.

I think mpntech.com sells monmentary ones...

OK just buying any military toggle switch you may not get what you want .. but if you get the one from mcpctech and they are rated for ATX then your fine ..

just make sure that they are rated for 12vDC. Radioshack is good place for generic switchs

MNPCTech is the best place for momentary military toggles. Otherwise you can get them wherever.
