I've been trying to find cables so I can hook up power/reset/power led/hd led to a computer motherboard, but I have no idea what they're called. I've tried almost everything I can think of. They're just plug into 2 prong ports on the motherboard. Anyone have links where I could buy them?
Oh, and also, are PC power and reset switches a click on/click off, or are they just momentary?
What are the cables called?

I'm pretty sure they're just regular pin headers.
Power and reset switches on modern motherboards are momentary.

Awesome, thanks! I wasn't even close in guessing the name. I'm thinking I could probably build my own button/light assemblies and just buy some female pin headers.

I bought a set from my local computer place for a few dollars. They strip them off computers to be junked and probably have a pretty good supply of them. Never hurts to ask.

Good idea. There is a computer place near my college. I work in the IT department at my college too, so I'll check when I work tomorrow.
