Here is my problem:
I have modded my 360 so that the fans run off of an external power source. Now my fans run all the time unless I unplug them. Is there any kind of switch that I can use to take the fans' old power supply (on the mobo) and use it to turn on and off my fans. Here is the basic idea I am looking for (sorry for the crude image):

I know they exist but I do not know what they are called...
It will take the power from the old power supply and use it to activate an electromagnet that will draw two contacts toward one another, which will complete the circuit to the fans and make the fans run when the 360 turns on.
