Need: Power Button / Switch / Thing.... Help!
Simply enough, I need a power button / switch thinger, (on off simply), Press feature or flip switch preferably.
It's for my laptop cooling project, customizing my own, but yeah, I need something that'll turn on or Off a simple powersupply (I've got the wiring figured out, I just need a button...).
Some of my silly co-workers @ shaw suggested I get setup with a power button/switch that looks like the "doomsday" button, flip the cap, "hit the big red button" or something.
Basically i'm looking for something "non standard", and i've tried ebay.. can't find jack.... It's all "power button frames" or something, for old hp's, acers, etc... (weiiiiiiiirdly...).
If anyone can help me, muchly appreciated!!!

just check any autoparts store, they will have them, like the link below and others, and will be way cheaper than having just a switch shipped
military style
basically what most of these computer stores are selling are the same things that have been used in vehicles for decades

go to the source, go to the back of the store where leds and electronics are and get a TOGGLE SWITCH. they are over priced mind you.
they are slightly overpriced, but not any more than the pc stores, also if all your getting is one switch it will still be cheaper than having it shipped
I decided on the blue acrylic edition, here and i'm hoping all my orders will come in the next 2 weeks for my project.
Though i'm new to "projects" and such. Which section literally should a "laptop cooler" design go into? As i'm making photographs of the project thoroughly.
Thanks,

*And when choosing shipping info, the website also asked me for where did I hear about them? I put www.overclock.net! Hell yeah!*
