Does anyone know where you can buy pc case on/off, reset switches and the
associated wires for attatching to the motherboard.
Im about to purchase a new case but dont really want to as all I really want
are these parts for a simple rig outside of the box for tresing components
quickly.
Im in the UK.

The on/off and reset switches are SPNOMC (single pole, normally open, momentary
contact), switches. They handle only low voltage at low current Any elecronics
supply house should stock them. The mounting type may be of more concern for
your usage. Even a door bell push-button will work.

You'll need a minimun load on most ATX power supplies to get them to start.
The motherboard may be sufficient but some may need a load on the +12V rail.

The LEDs are just that, a simple LED connected to the wires that run to the
motherboard to indicate power on and HD activity. If you get the polarity
wrong they won't light. No harm; just reverse the connection to the MB.
