I'm wanting to build an external firewire enclosure from scratch. I'm getting a bridge from http://www.fwdepot.com. Most likely this one here.
i need a power supply and was thinking about using an ATX power supply. But i know almost nothing about them. Can a switch be put on them like an old AT supply for immediate on and off. Or would that damge the drives and PS? any help would be nice.

You can rig a switch to the green cord on the power supply and have the other end go to a ground. Have the switch so it terminates the connection between the two.
