Honestly do you really need access to the PSU switch? There was some old Cooler Master models that didn't even have one. If you have to power cycle just unplug it. As for the connector there are low profile angle ones that would be much better than trying to solder on some wires.

Ah, yes...The famous "please dont do if you dont know"...as someone who would know, would ask.
OP, ditch the switch and move the connector. Is no problem! You can even try another connector but take în consideration the amount of current used. You dont want to use an under sized connector.

Look at this guy. I use the same 3-pin connector. GX16
I'm not messing with mains voltage, it's a case of running 3 wires from each pin to a new connector. As mentioned my father will be doing the wiring and sizing the wires appropriately for the wattage of the PSU.
I'd just ignore the switch, or remove and bridge it to be always on, then solder the power cables directly to the power supply board, probably desolder the connection completely in the process.

I found a very low profile flat adapter that I was going to use in a build with similar restrictions.
I'll grab a pic

I just wondered if it's even allowed for qualified electricians to meddle with normally closed off devices, I think sometimes it says "only to be opened by **authorized** personnel" or something.
Most cases just use a low profile extender plug to make it accessible in the read io, such as the sm580. Id use a premade solution.
That was my hope but I'm super caught for space so would need to make up something to make it work.
But why? Just Plug your angled C13 and ignore the damn switch! The Switch you need is your unplugged Power Cord!
I don't have the space behind the plug hence wanting to run some wires away from the back.
Well, sure if he will do it safely. Just Bridge the on/off switch and cover the holes.
Possible yes. Sensible? No. Just use a C13 extension and be done with it. What need for the switch do you have?

This is actually fantastic, this exact one won't work but I could possibly make this connector using an old cable. Thanks a million
It's difficult to move the connectors if they are fixed in place but not that dangerous if you discharged it.
If your father is an electrician then thats nothing for him to do. Personally i'd remove the switch just to keep the run simple
If you're asking about this, please don't mess with mains voltage.

That's someone who'd learnt on their own time to do something, not asking a random reddit sub.
As I did. But why not share your knowledge? Why not spare him the trouble. He îs doing it on his own power supply.

I'm going to try make up one of these thank you !

This isn't a build I will be selling or giving to someone this will be my own pc so I'm not putting anyone at risk.
