Hi everyone! i'm building this desk that has a clear plexi glass top, and my motherboard is suspended in it, and all the parts are fitted in. Its REALLY COOL LOOKING!!! (at least in my blueprints) my problem is where can i buy a switch to turn it on and off? Since theres no case i have no idea how to do it. I briefly considered buying a cheap case and taking the switch, but that not only is more expensive, but more importantly will look ugly. PLEASE HELP!!

The front panel power switch on a modern computer is just a simple single pole, push to make, release to break switch that is connected to the motherboard.
You should be able to get such a switch from any electrical store and mount it anywhere convenient.
