Hello All,

I'm looking to put a desktop PC in an upper cabinet, but have the power and hard drive display lights/button mounted in a lower cabinet.

I was thinking of mounting a separate "bay" with similar buttons into the side of the cabinet and running wire into the desktop's existing switches. Seems reasonable, no?

Any help would be appreciated.

You can just extend the wires if needed.

Connecting to existing switches will work, but either switch will operate.

LED's in parallel can become more dim(under some circumstances parallel LED's can cause issues, but the current is very low in this case.).
