I wanna rig my system up so I don't need to open it up like many others have done. I cannot find a switch that has 3 rows of 4 poles, so i figured why not use 2 dpdt switches? shouldn't be a problem theoretically.



It looks like it should work right and if I wanna use the 360, both switches go up, if I wanna use the pc, both go down. Only thing i don't know is the ground. I wanna ground this but nothing here shows the option of doing so.

Should the connections already get grounded from the pc or 360 motherboard? Or do I need to attach something somewhere to create the ground from inbetween the connections?

I figured out my own question. When you split open the SATA cable, you'll see 4 silver wires that's on its own. Those are the grounds. Just connect it to the ground on the pc and same for the xbox.
