Another Hardware Stab in the dark, does anyone one know where I can get a manual On/Off switch? The motherboard (Asus M3A32-MVP Deluxe) is currently connected via a "System panel connector (20-8 pin PANEL)", including an "ATX power button/soft-off button (2-pin PWRSR)" to the case. Is there anyway I can buy a small element that turns this into a standard On/Off switch for custom case building?

You could just unplug it. Btw, a surge protector could work wonders there.

Unplugging would be okay, it's the switching back on which is the problem.

EDIT:
I have just found one of these on Maplins:

If I connected that to the power on/off pins everything would be hunky dorey?
