Description
I hate the idea of a permanently powered-on power supply, so I added a simple switch. This uses the holes that had a zip-tie for the original power cord with 8mm M3 pan head screws and heatserts, and a standard power cord. Works great :-)
I used an old power cord from, something, and a cheap fused switch from Amazon:

Some things I will probably change:
Raise the switch body to reduce tension on the cord. Note it points "down" on purpose, I wanted to leave the possibility of putting the back cover on.
Add a ridge inside the lip to help retain the switch. In this one I actually dug small trenches for the clips on the switch. Otherwise it just slips out, very little friction to hold it in.
