You are going to have to be a little more specific. Are you looking for a power switch, or another type of switch such as fan or led? Also, are you looking for an external on off switch, or do you want to mod your case so that it features another switch?

Sometimes the remote switch does not work (as it is now not working) so before I bury the server I need the regular on/off switch to work also. If I could find a set of double pins (=|=) to connect the remote switch and the regular on/off momentary switch.

Well that is a long story! BUT here goes; I have Windows Home Server v1 that at times I need to restart. I can always shut it off from the Server Console but as the server is located deeply about 4 feet from an easy place to turn it on again. it takes about 5 to 6 minutes move everything out of the way to get at the server switch. So I needed the remote switch. At time as now I am replacing old hard drives with new larger ones and as each drive is replaced I need to "empty" the drive being replaced. The remote switch connections does not have room to place both wires (the power switch and the remote wires) in the connectors. What would work is a connector like this =|= and a splitter with 3 jacks (female), But after several days of looking I cannot find them.
