Like the switch on the PSU except I want to hide it. The toggle would have to be in the on position for my power button to work. any links appreciated.

All you would need is a small toggle wired into the case Power Sw wires that lead to the motherboard.

Or just remove the Power Sw wire from the motherboard. Computer won't turn on without it. It's easy to get to, and really small.
I mean you could get fancy and have an infrared switch that would need a remote to turn on.
/ee But that Power Sw connector that goes to the mother board is the easiest way to stop the comp from turning on. It's very low voltage and amperage. A tiny toggle switch on either of the wires in that connector will do what you want.
Like one of these would work...

/e They also sell rocker switches like the one on the back of the power supply, and ultra mini micro switches as well. Push button etc.
There are two companies that pretty much sell all the switches you could ever want.
Mouser Electronics, and Newark. You could just call them and explain what you want as far as size and type of switch goes.
