PC Power Reset Button & LED holder

thingiverse

This simple holder securely fastens an ATX/PC Power and Reset button, as well as Power and HDD activity LEDs. Dimensions of this compact design are 48.5mm x 13.5mm x 10mm. I recently built the impressive "poor man's computer test-bench" on Thingiverse, designed by Romanizer, which I used with an older motherboard lacking onboard power/reset buttons. Fortunately, I had the necessary cable but was missing a place to attach it to the test-bench, prompting me to create this holder. Designed for standard 8.5mm square buttons and 5mm LEDs, the type of cable I used is pictured in the design. To provide flexibility, two sets of mounting screw holes were added, allowing for installation with buttons facing outward or upward, or using double-sided tape. The buttons fit perfectly within the holder to prevent movement but require securing in place (a small amount of hot glue on the back works well). Once pushed through their respective holes, the LEDs are snugly fitted and will remain in place without additional support, although hot glue can be used if necessary.
