Yeah, its not a great picture, but you should be able to wire up pretty any switch as a power switch. I think it would work best if it is a push to make switch, as the standard switches on any pc case are - holding down power switches does all sorts of funny things like turining off a pc.

I can't really tell from that picture, but probably...

What about using toggle switches? I wanted to use one, but would I have to turn it on and off really fast for my computer to stay on?

Not sure - best solution would be to try it with your current pc switch. See what happens if you turn it on and hold it down for a while.

well if its going to be a power switch i needs to be a momentary, and basically how the power on/off on a computer works is by shorting the pins on the mobo, so essentially any switch would work for a power switch. if its a toggle switch, meaning theres an on/off position it will work but you would either have to turn off soft-shutdown (hold power button for 5 sec = shutdown) or toggle on then off to turn on the system.

hope that helps
