Should be a fairly standard double pole single throw switch. Can you measure the hole where it fits - accurately

Any standard DPST rocker switch will work, but i've mostly seen them in black or red, very rarely in grey.

Maybe these will fit, they are listed as "for aging equipment"... The brand and model is "Pronic R30-22C" and this is the only store that has them. They're on multiple chinese wholesale websites, but getting single pieces from there is a hassle.

Well the previous owner have tried that, and he failed as you can see ^^

I'm gonna measure that hole to see what could fit in there

@Nprod that switch looks close to the look I'm looking for, thanks !

Edit : hole is 2.5cm*2.5cm

Most AT case rocker switches will be the same size. This is the same one that my AT case has. https://wellgainelectronics.com/rocker-switch … thoCJ-wQAvD_BwE

Cut Hole 26X24mm

This will probably fit !!

I guess it's the same @Nprod posted

I ordered the Aliexpress switch, follow up in 18 days ...

Sorry, I didn't realize I sent the exact same switch! 🤣
I guess it never hurts to have multiple sources.

Well I was resilient to buy it from AliExpress because there was no size reported, but now I bet it's the same size 😀

Here are all the dimensions:

Standard mounting hole is listed as 25.4x25.7, this might've been the very same model of switch that was in there from the factory.

That's highly possible since the color seems to also match the reset/turbo button's and the mounting hole size is pretty much the same.

This should work:

Edit: looks like I found the same switch as above too 🤣

Well I think most cases use that one (I'll confirm that when I'll receive mine), this thread will be useful for anybody needing a new switch ^^
keep finding sources before they all die 😀

Make sure the switch is rated appropriately. Something like 250V would be good. Also, it's good to shrink wrap the spade connectors to prevent accidental arcing.

Thanks for the eBay link! I've been wanting to buy one of those grey switches since I built my 286 machine. The NOS case that I got came with this dorky green light up switch that kinda ruins the aesthetic in my opinion. I don't really need a lighted one, as there is already a power light on the indicator panel anyway. Honestly, I don't really need a power light at all, since you can hear the thing from across the house, 🤣

Well on the AliExpress photo, you can see it's rated to 10A/250V. Maybe Chinese manufacturers didn't care that much and lied, but I think for the usage we make, it doesn't matter too much if the switch can really support 3A instead of 10A. For the spade connector, my PSU has the necessary thing : transparent plastic-thingys that come over each each connector, preventing you, or anything else from touching the bare metal.

(Many years ago, I didn't know the AC current was getting into the switch and I zapped myself with this kind of switch where the plastic -thingy was a bit loose. Thankfully it only went through my finger 😵 )

Indeed, 3A should be fine. Fake/shoddy goods is another topic, of course. My concern was with the switches being rated for 24 or 32V DC, something like that.

Those booties are perfect, although household AC voltage running through you _is_ a way to stay warm in winter, I guess.

Or learning the hard way that AT computers might be more dangerous than they look 🤣

Well I received the switch today :

the old switch

placing the new switch in place

and it fits PERFECTLY 😁

The case is finally complete 😀

Thank you all for the help !

So indeed the switch was the correct one, and it doesn't feel like cheap crap either, it feels like any other switch really.
