    Hi everyone,

    As you are all aware I'm sure, I'm a complete newbie but I learn fast.


    I'm not a fan of the cheap plastic power/reset buttons on the Lian Li PC-A10b (I have the OEM edition, means no Lian Li labels, some of the insides are also a bit different, but that's a bit irrelevant)

    I would like to change it! :D

    going for black/white/silver colour scheme, i know the button is silver but the light will be green. And it's flimsy.

    Sorry about the awful photos. They just are.

    any advice on the course I should take would be appreciated. what wiring, holes, mods, any button that will fit? etc.

    Thanks! I pretty much wrote off the current hole in my head. I thought those other switches only came in one size and everyone else just drilled holes in their case. I'll measure it now and have a butchers round a site that sells them for reasonable price+shipping in UK ;)



    Erm, i know its from China (probably) and all of that but, how does this look? It's cheap but metal (I assume) if not then I'll keep looking. I don't know what kind of experience people have with buying knockoffs

    Also, can I just add a question?

    I forgot that the reset button will probably mis-match and I was wondering where you can get those too?

    A switch is a switch it just turns on and off, it all depends on what you plug it into.

    -I fear this might be a little late, but that Chinese switch isn't momentary, It's a click on/click off type. You want "momentary on" switches.
