I want to use this to mod a power switch on the pc case. Instead of using the front panel switch, I want a magnet to turn on the pc. Will this work?

I don't see why not, as long as there is not too much current for this switch and it's wires. Keep it away from PC parts that might be sensitive to magnets like your hard drives.

Most PC's run on 120 volts AC, at 2 amps, or about 250 watts. They don't use that much power all of the time, of course. This switch is rated for only 100 volts, 7.5 watts, 0.5 amps. An average PC would draw enough power to melt this switch. You might use this switch to control a relay, but I would NOT use this switch as a main power switch for the computer...

It worked perfectly in the mid tower case that I used. This case also had a top mounted power supply spot. Of course mid tower cases are all different sizes but the power supply slots should all be same sizes.

Magnets will work on this stand... This is a great stand for the money... I love mine and I use it all the time... No problems with it at all

You will be surprised how strong that magnet is, and it's certainly strong enough to cause problems with hard drives , data, the screen etc. As a test of how far to place the magnet, set it on a table and see how far/close something steel needs to be to cause it to move or attract , then add some extra distance.

yes it will, but I would go with a name brand power supply because my Sentey blew up when I hit the power switch. I sent it back and went with a name brand supply and had no problem, I would not recommend this power supply.

Yes. To get it to work properly, it needs to be installed directly opposite the magnet per the instructions.

Mostly any magnet works if you are willing to use something other than the stock part. I recommend neodymium magnets. I have a bunch of these for other purposes and they work great and are EXTREMELY strong. Amazon sells many different sizes and shapes.

If you don't care how it looks any magnet like the small refrigerator magnets will work. It just has to be strong enough to close the switch on the main unit. One suggestion is to make sure the magnet is polarized to close and not keep the switch open which you wil know immediately. That thing is loud!

Sure, you could do that. Obviously, the open/close function would not work - it depends on movement of the magnet portion. But the temperature and acceleration functions should still work.

That's a good Q. I wondered the same. Even if it is a bit magnetized, I don't think it should make any difference. How about turning it around regularly ?? Or flip it over ....?? Stev

the magnet tip is not strong enough to damage any electrical devices or cause EMI. it is only strong enough to hold a very small screw like those on an iphone.

Either will work but the magnets are very strong and holds really well. I had one for years and just bought one as a gift for my son.

It isn't possible to answer your question without knowing the size of the magnet you would like to use! However, personally wouldn't bother. Just put a dab of gun grease on the screw and it'll stick in the driver. Wipe off the excess when done. Easy!

Sorry Jose, I bought this board thinking it would fit my Dell case, but it was a bit too big, so I returned it right away...but I think it will in fact support that proc.

Ya. Power supplies and cases are fairly universal nowadays when it comes to screw layout. This has the ability to to be mounted to the bottom, just flip it so the fan goes out the bottom of the case if it has a vent underneath the spot the power supply is on. If not just keep the fan on the top.

I don't know for sure but it sounds reasonable. There is a lot of information and videos on the net that can help you change these cables. Also the cables are cheap so there is not much to lose if it should turn out to be the wrong cable. The power button cable has 12 leads. If it is correct that your power cable is 6 pin, then it is the wrong cable.
