Hey Everyone,

I'm thinking of making a "Molex switch" that will enable me to turn my LEDs (In my water cooled system) on and off, They're all powered from molex. I was thinking of cutting a hole in one of my PCI brackets and mounting a small switch on it. Would this be safe to cut a molex cable and install a switch in the cap? And do you think its a good idea or not or is there a easier solution?

Thanks
Buck
 
Solution
Ground one side of the led string by connecting it to one of the black molex wires. Get a 12v wire from Molex to the switch then the ohter side of the switch to the other lead on the led string.
