can you solve this conundrum /g/?
Ive bought an old AT server case as a project for a modern gaming pc build and it had some extra features
from its time.
Ive created a wiring diagram I've drawn up in hopes that I can get some input if it will work.
The plan is this
>flip toggle switch
>insert key and turn key
>press power button to turn on pc
From what i understand and tested is that you can't directly use a toggle switch to turn on a computer. so my question is
does this wiring constitute as functioning power button? If my wiring is correct the circuit should be completed when all the switches are activated and would only provide momentary power just to turn it on.
Ive already figured out the wiring for the leds on the bulgin switch so thats not a problem.

You probably should go to /diy/
/g/ is just a consumer war board

Why not just directly connect power to the power button?

replace the switch with a momentary switch of the same size and type

Really old PCs used an on/off flip switch. New PCs use a simple on/off button which simply shorts a connection to signal the PSU to turn on when it's pushed in.

You're trying to make use of the toggle switch and the key mechanism I guess?
Switches don't have positive or negative terminals you place them in series with the positive lead before the thing you want to toggle on/off.
This seems to be what you want.
