How to mount a Chassis Intrusion Switch

[Wavefury]

I have a Carbide Series 400R, and I was interested in putting a Chassis Intrusion System in to alert me if a room mate has opened my case. The only Intrusion switches I've dealt with were in stock workstation PC's, so I don't know where to find one that is compatible with my case, or where to mount it if I did find one.

 

There appears to be a mounting Bracket of some sort about an inch or two from the bottom of the case; is that where it goes?

 

If so, All I have left is the compatibility issues, because all the switches I see look like they point straight up while mounting to that spot would require a 90 degree bend in the switch from mounting point to trigger.

 

Thanks in advance for any advice

just buy some tamper proof tape,once applied it breaks if disturbed

much cheaper...;):

Eh, tamper-tape seems like a one-shot solution. I'd have to reapply the tape every time I open the case to clean it out, and the adhesive could leave behind a residue. I've seen tamper switches in action and my motherboard supports one, so I figure why not go all out. Besides that, I'd like to get full functionality from my case, and if that niche I mentioned isn't for a tamper switch, then I'm all out of Ideas on what it could be.

search for case intrusion switch on flea bay and I am sure you will be able to find something which you can make work with your case. your motherboard as got connections for a switch.
