Hello ocn, I'm currently working on a new build using an old Xigmatek case i had kicking around and modifying the snot out of it!
Anyways, I've already fabricated this set of switches:


Im going to put that panel on this (some major cutting still needed):

My plan is this, Im going to use both two switches together for power and the other will either power the lighting system or something else...its still in development lol
As you can see ive already got the front plate cut, eventually im going to put both the power button and the reset button on that.
The toggle switches on the top will hopefully work like this:
1 switch will act as a sort of safety switch for the power button, so you have to flick it to make the power button work
Now with the other one, im intending to move the back switch of the psu to here so you have a two stage switch ignition system lol
Is this a foolish idea or is it as simple as i think it is, as in just soldering extra cable to the contacts in the psu and then re-routing the cable to the front panel?
Also, those switches have leds in them, how/can i hook them up? i might just not bother but some advice from an expert would be helpful as im just a nerd with too much time on his hands!
Okay I just got my new psu apart and im a bit stumped, the switches i have look like this:

While the switch in need to take out and replace is wired up like this:

As far as I can see I have 2 posts on the switch I want to use but 4 connections on the psu switch, what goes where!!!!
Can someone please help me with this as I really don't want to destroy this psu, its brand new!

The case is grounded so it would probably not be dangerous, but it would be annoying.
