Jase, you sense here.

And, um, I'm kind of in a good mood today because we had two million subscribers this morning.

It would've thought when I started this channel one million, let alone 2,001,000 was a pipe dream way back in the day.

Almost seven years now, I've been running this channel, So I'm gonna do another front experiment, one that actually has some practical use.

So it's kind of a stupid thing that by the end of this video might actually not be so stupid as a lot of inspiration behind what we're about to do.

We'll talk about that right after our sponsor origin PC builds high performance custom piece seeds for gamers and professionals.

You guys know that Little J has built her own computer on this channel now multiple times.

And as her little sister gets older and is conscious and aware of the computer, she's conscious and aware of buttons.

And my youngest daughter is almost to the age now where I think she's ready to build her own computer.

She's obsessed with computer.

She really wants one, so that's coming soon.

But what we've noticed is over the last year or so middle jail be playing on her computer, and then, uh, my youngest will walk over and then just be like to the power button now.

Yes, you could disable the power button in the OS by making it do various things, like go to sleep, sign out, turn off or do nothing.

But rather than make it do nothing, because Little J likes to just put her computer to sleep, which is how about but this program where she just push it when we're like, good down here, dinner time, do your homework.

Whatever she'll just she'll push that button and puts a computer to sleep.

And off she goes.

The problem is, if you have someone constantly doing that to you while you're trying to play on it, it's really super annoying.

Well, I also follow a car channel that I'm a huge fan of.

I've been following since he was, like, very early days, and that's Chris Fix.

And he recently talked about how to install a kill switch to your in your car.

Now this is something I've installed a whole bunch in the past, cause I used to also do car stereo in alarm system installs very high end, very trick crazy alarm systems.

We had sequences to start the car designed to just make it harder for a thief.

Not impossible.

Nothing's impossible.

So I thought, Why not use the same concept and then used his video ideas a trigger for me to install a kill switch into the computer, making it so that you lock out the power button when you don't want it, but have a hidden switch to make it work when you d'oh!

This also has a lot of practical uses.

Like I said, little sisters and or Children that you don't want being able to get on the computer without knowing how to start it up.

If you do it right, the lesser than tech savvy people will be fooled by this.

But anyone that's got, you know, any knowledge whatsoever how computer works might potentially be able to bypass is that's why we're gonna try and hide this.

So here's what we've got.

We've got some tools that we need to do this.

Obviously, we've got a toggle switch.

This is a momentary switch.

You don't want to have a toggle like an on off because you forget to toggle it back then this which is not gonna work.

So we have a momentary switch.

So this is something that's got to be pressed in conjunction with the power button to make the power button work.

When this isn't pressed, the power button is bypassed.

Nothing happens until this is held.

So our sequence is gonna be something along the lines of Push, push And I'm like, oh, system will do its thing.

Same thing to turn it off.

Push, push!

It would turn off.

So we also have some wire here that I just sort of stole from excess things I had I didn't anymore.

So we have some wire us some heat shrink, cause we still want to look pretty.

Although this is just one of our stupid J experiments.

We got a lighter, and we also a screwdriver, probably get in our case.

We needed some wire strippers and side cutters, logical tape drill drill bits, because this is not gonna be case specific.

You can do this in any chassis and how creative you want to be with it.

How hidden you want to be, and whatever kind of sequence you want is gonna be 100% up to you.

And we decided to use this case because it's got the gaugin.

It the 12 gauge I installed back when I did that challenge accepted with Jerry, like almost two years ago, where we figured since we used this from an automotive theme, Miles, we'll keep it going with this case.

So what we're gonna be working off of here is the power switch that would go from your front case button to your motherboard, the one that's labeled power switch.

And pretty much every single case is gonna have one of these.

Not all cases have reset switch is.

But we want this to work off of the power switch.

So we want to take the front of the case apart or anything like that.

We're just gonna work off of the harness here.

Now, if you don't know how this already works when this plugs into the motherboard, this basically, when you push the power button bridges the 12 volt in the 24 pin to fire up the motherboard.

So what we're gonna be doing now is we're gonna be putting an interrupt in this circuit, which is what this button is for.

So the wiring that we have here is just for us to build another harness for us to relocate that somewhere else So essential be teeing off of one of these wires.

So I could go ahead and kind of separate this like this.

And this is the part that's going to universal pre much any case.

So we'll give ourselves plenty of slack years.

We can put that back obviously, in the motherboards.

You want to do it close to the end of the terminal or where it terminates.

You want to do it more mid harness.

That way you can keep it behind the chassis.

Because if you truly, truly you're trying to do this is some sort of a deterrent.

Then you're gonna want to put this somewhere where it's a little bit less conspicuous because here's the problem.

Little J This this probably would work for here for her for a couple of times because she's smart enough to know like, Oh, the power button isn't working Is my power supply turned on and she's gonna come back here and look, and if she sees a button, she might go, Let's just say it's right here.

She might be like, Oh, what's this?

That's weird.

I don't think she'll have the forethought to, like, push this and push the power button together.

But the first time someone sees you do it well, then doesn't work anymore.

So this is perfect for little kids are gonna be coming up pushing buttons on your computer, and it would kind of keep the power switch from doing anything.

Also to, let's say, you have a roommate or an older brother or a older child that's smart enough to potentially realized like, Oh, they wired something in this computer.

That's not right.

That's why we're doing the black harness that we can run behind here that blends in.

And where I'm thinking I'm gonna put this switch is actually on the top underneath the fan filter so that we pushed down on the fan filter where we want to switch to be so that you don't see it all so you could see I've already trimmed this wire here.

What we need to do now is we need to essentially attach to leads onto this.

That is what the hey trinkets for in the electrical tape.

Normally, I would slaughter this, but I have my soldering iron and no Sauder.

We already actually went to the store once today we don't want to go again.

That's how we went to get this switch.

If you're running where I got this, which I would say Radio Shack, it's out of business.

We literally went to AutoZone intothe Reiser, Ill.

With all the L.

E.

D's bought the cheapest one we could find that had this demo.

Try me.

Button stole this out of the package and then proceed to throw the ladies that bought a way.

Because as soon as I opened up the package, yeah, ladies fell apart.

Didn't work anyway, so I paid nine bucks for this switch.

All right, so all I did right here was just strip both into the wires, one that's on the power switch and then the wire lead that were adding, Like I said, normally I would sauder this cut the end that the excess, often beautiful ball saw her there.

But because this is not a stress part's gonna be moving or anything.

It's like an engine bay.

This will get us by.

No problem.

But I am gonna heat shrink it, though, because I'm a huge proponents of using heat shrink over tape were available because tape does gooey it comes off.

Just put that over right there.

And this is what the flame is for.

You drink to do its job, which is to shrink.

And as you can see that wire and going anywhere, we're gonna do the same thing on this other one over here.

Through that when I'm going to do now is I'm gonna put a bigger piece of heat shrink over this and create just a bit of a harness so that it doesn't pull out.

Do it on both sides to don't hope the heat too long.

You don't want to melt the insulation that's on the wires.

There is our half of our hearts.

So now we have these two ends that I'm gonna also sleeve because, like I said, I want these two really sort of blend in with the rest of the wires in the case.

And that doesn't matter which end of the wires it goes to because again, this is interrupted circuit until you pushed the momentary switch, which gives it a momentary circuit.

Complete what you want to do with the sleeve, though, when you cut, it is gonna fray at the end.

You want to take the heat and just hit it a little bit, so it kind of melts like that when it's still kinda pliable.

You want to sort of straight it out, but you don't want to melt it to your hand.

I did that earlier, so we want to go ahead and get our heat shrink ready for the next that we're gonna do right here, because we still have to get our actual harness sleeve on there.

And what we were going to do now is just we don't want to be fumbling with things.

Because if you're doing this by yourself, obviously it's gonna be difficult.

So we're gonna do right now is we're gonna go ahead and put the sleeve on.

We're gonna push it up as far as we can.

We're gonna get ourselves some extra slack.

That way, we consort our ends and then we'll pull it back.

And Sawyer are he drink over the end of this so well, demonstrate that now.

So we're gonna put both wires through.

If I didn't measure this too too long.

Should be towards the end.

We get up to the top right here, gets a little bit more difficult.

As the wire goes farther down the sleeve, there's more resistance.

The nice thing is, if you need more slack, just go to the end where the wires are, you push it.

You see how you get that little kind of a inchworm kind of a look as you do that you kind of put the wires farther down.

As you can see, we're all the way down to here.

I know.

Hold that up, Out of the way.

Something else we could also do.

I'll demonstrate that now, as you can use a zip tie to kind of keep it from coming back while you're working with it.

Cut the zip tie and then it will stretch back out.

So just to demonstrate that you can kind of push this up, out of the way, see out, sort of like crunches down like that.

Just take the zip, tie this over the wires and zip, tie it down.

There we go.

Like that sense.

Then when we're done, you could just cut this it.

I just think she don't cut the wires underneath it.

So there's our harness.

So the idea is obviously not that you're trying to make it impossible for someone to turn this PC.

You're just trying to make it harder, right?

That's how you That's how you stop a car thief.

One No one is.

You don't stop them from being able.

You make it take too long to be worth their time.

But my going plug this in right now and test it for proof of concept.

So if this if I did my job right and I did this correctly, pushing the power button should do nothing with it plugged in.

And then once I push my momentary switch, it should bring that power switch to life.

And then he had to get creative on.

Where you gonna put it?

Nothing.

It's just You can see it, actually, where we're gonna use the rule won't leader.

Ha ha.

Okay, so nothing, huh?

Beefy kill switch.

Like I said, the star of this video, I think I want to hide it under this.

So I'm gonna have to do a couple of things here.

I was hoping that the switch was gonna fit through one of these honey comb openings perfectly.

But it doesn't.

It's like barely two big.

Oh, now it's a J video.
