    does anybody know where i could get an stainless steel or metal on/off switch for my pc, preferably in the uk over internet?

    and if possible an internet site that sells aluminum sheet?

    Hi, his3j3t, welcome to Bit Forums, :thumb:

    Have a look at Maplin and Rapid Electronics for "vandal resistant switch", they do several from about £5 to £15. You want a momentary-on, or SPNO, for a PC power &/or reset switch.

    RS Components do aluminium sheets, but you may find more choice and cheaper locally, look for non-ferrous or aluminium sheet metal merchants in Yellow Pages. My local place (Doncaster) will cut to size which is handy. RS also do the switches which would save an extra delivery charge.

    Rapid do some Bulgin. Some are SPCO (single pole change-over) so there's 3 contacts, a common pin, one that makes on press (which you use) and a third that breaks on press (which you don't use).
