Pics, rants and raves!
Here are the switches I purchased. For some odd
reason, the Radio Shack near me doesn't like to stock items on the
shelf. They have 2 of every item, never more. WTF? Anyway, this
forced me to purchase two different kinds of SPDT switches:
Connecting the wires to the switches is similiar
to what I did in the fan bus guide, just solder the wire to the
prongs, then cover it up with some heat shrink:
When I said to read the fan bus guide I was
serious! Here is what I am talking about, the wire connectors. Use
them to bundle together the 12volts wires coming from the molex
connector:
Here is the almost finished item. The wire
connector has wires coming in from the left which is the molex
connector from the PS. Coming out of the right side is the wires
that go to the SPDT 12V prong. The green wire is the wire for the
5Vs from the PS. The SPDT switch will toggle between these two when
moved. All the switches are off the picture to the right, where that
large mess of wires are going... :
After sticking in all the wires into the box (this
box is awesome!), this is what you should get:
Since I decided that I wanted to put this into a
plastic panel so I can occupy one of my 5 1/4 bays, I took a spare
one that was lying around and drilled some holes in it. Then screwed
the switches in and you got yourself a bay switching monster!:
