So, I am not far off ascending to the master race (waiting on a couple of parts), and am wanting to build a custom power switch to go with my new toy. I had an idea in mind, but I don't know how possible it is.
I've attached a basic plan of what I want, similar to a pilot starting the engine on a jetliner. I know i could do a simple circuit but this would be so cool
1. 2 dial switches and a shielded switch (SW1-3)
2. You then hold down SW5 and a red diode will turn on, along with a scream from a dc buzzer.
3. Whilst holding down SW5, turn the key on SW4, also a momentary switch.
The issue I see is not enough voltage going to the buzzer, or too much getting through and the computer starting up. Kinda a pipe dream at this stage, but would be so cool in my opinion. Also it will be wired to a small box external from the case
