Where do you buy case buttons for custom cases?

[VintageGamer]

I want to build a custom case and need power and reset buttons that connect to an ATX motherboard. LEDs for drive indicator and system on lights would also be nice to have for the case. I'll also nee motherboard standoff screws. Where can I buy parts for the custom case? I have searched online and have not found a dedicated store that sells these parts, and instead found resellers on ebay and other sites. I am looking for a dedicated store specific to these products that is not a reseller.

we'll start you off on ebay and see if  that works.

I did find these on ebay. I was searching for these items from retailers such as newegg to ensure that the product is a legitimate listing and never been used.

the.... majority of these ebay listings have more positive feedback than newegg

.... and the product you are looking for is so cheap to buy new that it's more difficult to actually find someone selling used buttons and switches over new ones.

Just because it's from ebay doesn't mean it's automatically a scam. Even if a listing was less-than-legitimate, you'd lose what, $5?

actually they would loose 0$ because paypal just refunds scams

But who knows maybe these people have been selling parts for years to thousands of people just so they can have their ebay account banned becuase they specifically wanted this guys 5$

There's also on Amazon if you wanna go that route, but it's dirt cheap on Ebay I don't see the problem

Right, but some people may not bother/use paypal at all. Just saying that it's hardly a gamble.

mouser?

digikey?

 

Most people just get the non-latching LED push button switches from amazon, like this one:

If you don't like ebay or aliexpress, both of which I use all the time for used server cpus, ram, car parts, automotive connectors, switches, ect. You could try McMaster-Carr which LTT frequently uses for their project supplies.

The only button real man needs

Jokes aside, button is a button. You can go to local junkyards and get them out of used cases.
