Oil Cases & Front Panels

[Grimm Spector]

I've seen a bunch of oil cases, and I'm curious what people have been doing for front panel items, in particular of course the LEDs and Power & Reset Switches.

Some take a front panel from another case and mount it in a convenient location, you could also make something custom with vandal switches and panel mount USB ports.

Yea I was thinking I may have to go that route, if I can get the connectors in screw attached formats from another case or something.

 

Those vandal switches seem to be weird 5 pin deals, not simple +/- momentary switches that the motherboard would require for Power/Reset, so I'm not sure how I could use such switches though some of them are quite nice looking.

 

Edit: I found an adapter that works with those types of switches. Now I just have to figure out how I would want to mount them, thanks!
