Switch for front led

[jepatbentley]

My case has a color changing led in the front and at night is very bright. It connects to a standard 4 pin power molex. Is there any switch out there or any switch I can easily mod so that I can turn this on and off whenever I please and not disconnect it from the power.

Hmm. A lot of the case-modding sites sell fan speed-controls that fit drive bays. Those generally seem to have three pin connectors, but they also sell three-pin to four-pin convertors.

Maybe you could pick up one of those drive-bay control panels and a couple of those 3 to 4 pin convertors. Most of the fan-speed controllers have intermediary steps between on and off...I don't know how your lighting would like that. I guess you'd have computer mood-lighting.

Well aside from what RedFox1 Suggested you can also splice in an on/off switch to the wires its connected to. It's fast, simple to do, and it's cheap. It'll be like a cold cathode with an on/off switch.

yup, buy a swtich from radio shack or frys, and solder it on.
