| The old Switcheroo!! Hey Raphael I love the idea of moving your Power/Rest switches!!! that is why I did it long ago on WeldZilla-2c. C meaning the third incarnation of WeldZilla 2. Well I did it simply because if you don't know where the switch is you can't fire my computer and that is how I like it! On Matt's computer he uses the Password on the keyboard so the power switch does not work. That's an Epox. On my Asus I hid the Switches. Now I did not move fancy buttons I just have the actual switches that are located behind the buttons. Since WeldZilla 2 stands on legs I put the switches under the case. Here is a shot of the switches. The switches reside on the under side right in front of the bottom fan and about 1 and 1/4 inches in from the edge. The power is on the right and the reset on the left nearest the USB bracket I have mounted under the case also to give me quick access to 2 ports. The pictures will hopefully give you some perspective on all this blah blah. Other than Matt no-one has a clue cept you guys how to start WZ-2. I like it that way. I drilled to holes in the bootom of my case to run the switches through. Then I took a small piece of hardwood and drilled into it but not through it to accomodate switches and holt them in place I carved lines in the wood to allow wires to run to the switches with out getting squished. Then the block got screwed down to bottom of case locking the switches into position. The wires leve the motherboard and loop around out osf site fromthe board and you don't see them again. Well hey Raphael I will be looking forward to seeing your finished mod!
