FIC IceCube Power/Reset Button

[JHaigwood]

I just purchased a display/demo model of an IceCube computer from the CompUSA I work at, before they could throw it out. I figured that everything seemed to look just fine, motherboard in good condition and case looking fairly good that it would be a good start for a second computer. When I got it home I found that the cable from the power and reset buttons was cut, thus making it impossible to hit the power button and have the computer turn on. I figured that I could probably get around this if I could find some sort of replacement power/reset button somewhere. Someone is bound to have one. I cant find any anywhere.

What would you suggest I do to get this power/reset button problem solved? Oh, and one of the side panels is missing. I remember seeing it a few months ago next to the display but I have a feeling that a customer may have stolen it or it just got lost out on the floor. A replacement sidepanel is in need too.

Any suggestions as far as an alternative solution for power/reset would be nice as well. Thanks.

do you have both halves of the wire(s)? you can just solder them together

if not try getting one from an older computer about to be throw out

I dont have the connectors that plug into the mobo, so i'm out of luck for saudering, though i have thought of that. I have thought of trying to find my own power reset buttons and make my own side panel to, use the new sidepanel to have power/reset buttons in that instead of the ones in the front of the case. But I cant find any buttons at all.
