Where do you put the cold cathode tube on/off toggle switch on your case? Any suggestions? This case is a CompUSA knockoff of an Antec Solution Series case (with the front bezel door that covers the drive bays.)

I just put mine on a spare 5.25 benzel on the front. You could put it anywhere, get creative!

I have two cathodes. The switch on one is in the bottom right corner of the side of my case, so I can turn it on and off easily, and I don't have to worry if I buy another drive. On my second cathode, it is turned on all the time, because the switch is inside the case, bundled up with the wires. Be creative, you can put it anywhere.

I rarely turn my cold cathode on so my switch is just sitting inside of the case. Have to open it up to turn it on. But I guess one of your empty drive bays would be the best idea.

We actually lucked across a great spot on this case. The front bezel door came with a keyed lock. There was a depression on the inner front of the case where I guess the lock would catch and hold the door shut. The depression was almost the perfect size for his switch. We just had to cut the plastic out a bit from the inner piece of the bezel, and remove the locking mechanism from the inside of the door. The keyhole piece is still in the door, so it looks fine from the outside. Obviously, he can't lock that door now, but who would ever?
