Power Switch + Toggle Switches
I had a thread previously asking about if adding a secondary power switch was possible... and I got the answer I wanted... now I want to know how to do it...
__________________I went to my local hardware store and picked another momentary switch, and two toggle switches, as it looked cool =p... all of which have two pins on the bottom... in what configuration should I solder the wires from the original power switch? EDIT: BTW, I hope cattlerustler sees this, as I know you did one with your gumdrop case... but I don't really know how you did it...

toggle switch with just 2 pins- That is off and on. Just cut one of of the 2 wires going to the power switch, add some longer leads and add that switch into the wire- and when it is off the computer will not start. (Just interrupt the circuit somehow.)

but should I wire them in a chain? like mobo to 1st power to 2nd power to toggle to toggle back to mobo?

You know the 2 wires going into the power switch? Cut those two wires, solder longer wires onto them, and just connect the wires to both switches. Make sure you connect positive to positive and negative to negative.
__________________Make sure to unplug it from the power before you do all of this. Also, DO NOT forget to cover exposed wire. If the negative touches your case when it has power, you're screwed. See how the below picture has the two wires coming out from them molex and has a 3-pin at the end? That's pretty much what you have to do but instead of going to a 3-pin you would go to the switch.

This is pretty much what I'm saying above:

When wiring the toggle switches for say controlling CCFLs, you simply cut the positive lead to the inverter and solder the switch in line with that. If you want a failsafe for a power switch (i.e. both have to be actuated like what CR did for gumdrop) you wire the switches in series, to have them act as independant controls for the same function, then they should be wired in parallel.
