I think you're missing some parts. I suspect that there was a plastic carrier that held the switches and LEDs. Rectangular legs likely snapped into the holes on either side of the round holes that correspond to the switch pegs and LED holes in the front panel. I'm not sure if they would have been individual or a single bank of all four. It's also possible that all of this snapped in behind the front panel but outside the case and all the wires threaded through that round grommet at the bottom of the chassis. I might be able to get some pictures as an example from my stash if the explanation isn't making sense. Pretty sure I don't have anything exactly like what you need, unfortunately.

Hi

I have a bit of a predicament I need help with. I've tried reaching out to the seller I bought the case from, but have yet to hear back. This was bought off eBay around March, I think. Even the seller isn't sure what the model is. There's no serial number or manufacturer's logo. It just has Scorpio on the front.

The attachment IMG_4463.JPG is no longer available

They reckon it could have been made by either Chieftec, Raidmax, or Antec. Apparently Raidmax had a Scorpio series and they reckon this one could have been from the early 00s due to the AMD Duron sticker. That said, I've no idea if there's a manual out there. One of these power button connectors came with it: https://ebay.us/m/sOI3ml and I'm having trouble figuring out how to connect things up to the buttons. I'm not seeing any practical way of doing it. Surely those switches need to be up against the two power button prongs (middle left in photo)...?

The attachment IMG_4462.JPG is no longer available

But I don't see any way of achieving that securely. This is what the grill is like from the back:

The attachment IMG_4460.JPG is no longer available

The red and green LEDs can be fed through the holes on the back of the front panel, but I see no way of connecting up the switches. Has anyone come across anything like this before? Or has any suggestions on a workaround? Or something that I'm missing? I'm not sure what to do and if I'm not able to use the power buttons, the case is of no use to me.

Thanks

Case is made by a company called tsunami - can check mine over the weekend for the part, though if I recall i think @jjd is right re it being a clip on mounting piece for the switches

Ahh, damn. Though that would explain it. 😒 There are some other bits in a bag that came with it, but I'm not so sure those are the parts you mean. Though they could be. They're round and grey. I figured they were 'feet' for the case...? Although I don't recall anything underneath the case that they'd snap to. I'll have to check them over once I'm back from work. I'm still not quite sure how they'd keep the switches in place as you describe, so some pics would be most welcome. Thanks. 😀

Are you rehousing your existing PC or doing a new build?

Re-housing an existing build. Well, sort of. The biggest difference is the motherboard. It’s essentially the same kind - 440BX - but it’s a bigger ATX one.

Thanks. I needed a bigger case anyway as I need another HDD. I think the previous one only allowed two.

My case internals look slightly rough (forgot I'd hacked the bays for a front fan) but you should still get the picture... personally I'd just hot glue the switches in from the back.

Ahhhh. Yeah, I don't believe this came with any of those clips. And my guess was right - those grey round things are the feet. There are four holes at each corner at the bottom of the case. I guess I need to track down those clips on eBay. I just need a name for them...

tbh, if it was me then I wouldn't bother with the clips...the face of the switch is hard against the inside face of the case so I'd just hot glue in place, making sure some of the glue went thru the two side holes for each switch. They're momentary switches so don't require much pressure to respond. Looks like you're missing the two clear light lenses for the LEDs but that's less of an issue. Is the front USB board also absent 🙁

Yes, it is. I coulda sworn it was there, but when I pushed that sliding door up yesterday - nothing. No USBs. I'm starting to consider just buying a different ATX case, to be honest. It only cost me £37 back in Feb or March.

I have the lenses, though it looks like they might have been glued to it judging by the residue.

I guess I could try super gluing them to it and maybe the switches.

EDIT: Yeah, I could potentially super glue them on the other side of the bracket in the case, so they're sitting through the holes and up against the buttons/lenses. A clip/bracket to hold them in place would be ideal and cleaner, but if that's not possible then I can super glue them.

Just not sure what to suggest about the missing USB.

Was that image from an archived website? Was just wondering if there's a manual out there.

Seems like a decent enough case that some light fabrication might be worth it. For the USB, it's nothing wild so any standard double-stack with a 9/10 pin header would work. The challenge would be to find a way to make it stay in place but even that seems doable. The original setup was incredibly simple so maybe something similar with say a flat piece of plastic would do it. Dell and many other use simple parts like this:

https://www.electrical.com/Products/Automation-Dell/JM295

You can find those on Ebay usually for very little money or scab one out of a dead machine if you have access to stuff like that.

Oh awesome. Thanks. I'll check over and see how/where best to fit one. I don't suppose you'd know the right thing to search for those clips to hold those switches and LEDs in place? I've tried doing some searches on eBay, but nothing comes up.

Far as a manual goes, I don't see any at the above link, and as I bought my case nib in the early 2000s with no paper manual supplied then, I suppose tsunami didn't feel the need (cost) just for a bare case. scrub that last part...was thinking of a similar looking case (not tsunami).

I scrapped out a lot of cases years ago and I don't ever recall seeing anything like those plastic holders/carriers. I also did a bunch of searching trying to figure out terms that might help but got nowhere. I suspect those are specific to that case design. One thing I thought of that might work for a power switch would be something like this:

https://solutioncables.com/product/atx-power- … avy-kdc-a10-red

They're all over Ebay, just search for ATX Power Switch

You should be able to use the existing holes and some case screws to mount it upside down (terminals toward the top of the case) and at least you'd have a working power switch. Might need to adjust the length of the push button or use some washers to get the depth correct. Could work for a reset switch too. Not exactly pretty but likely functional. LEDs are probably easier, hot glue or they might fit right into the holes in the bezel, may even stay in place on their own. Once nice side effect is that this type of switch has a much more tactile and satisfying click than the micro switches the case came with.

Great, thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, I’m not having much luck my end in finding those switch cases; not even on eBay. 😕 Must not be very common in the UK. Results just seem to be for the power cables themselves.

I’ll keep trying to search around online, but it’s looking likely I’ll just have to somehow superglue them in place.
