Flabooble!
Artsy Fartsy mod.
As per a part of my previous post about making a painting, I think I'm going to do it soon. I've got an itch, no time, but an itch. I'm gonna paint something and add in pictures and poop then mount a mobo and all of the other computer components to it. Here's my issue.
How do i turn it on and off as I will not have a case???
I assume that I will need to rig up some sort of switch to short the "pwr on" pin connector thing on the mobo (what the hell are they called anyway?). Anyway, is there a particular sort of switch I could use? I'm used to seeing somewhat larger ones for repairing fluorescent lights but they are just too big/bulky and I think I need something lighter in weight as well as the guage of wire it uses to connect. Can I use a housing from a jumper and just rip the metal part out or is there a part a radio shack I can use to connect the wires to the switch to the pins?
I can prolly get a LED for the HDD activity light and wire it up in a similar way, but without the switch. I'm thinking of a jumper without metal bit, led and some electrical tape. I have such skills...
