Momentary switches are desirable for the case power switches; here are a few that would work:

ok so i plan on getting this
http://www.allelectronics.com/make-a...-SWITCH/1.html
similiar to the one you suggested CR, now is there like a tutorial on how to do this or anything cause I'm not too sure which wires go where

There will probably be a diagram that comes with the switch to help you wire it up properly.

You really only need 2 wires, the ones that come off the mobo power pins.

Match it up with the diagram

Positive = Positive
Negative = Negative

It's actually a double pole switch and for the case power you only need to use one of the poles; the three legs associated to one pole are on one side of the switch and the legs for the other pole are on the other side. Of the 3 legs, the center one is typically the common and the other 2 would be the NO (Normally Open) and NC (Normally Closed); the case switch wiring would have one lead connected to the common and the other to the NO. Typically the contacts are opposite the switch position; i.e. when viewing the switch from the side, if the toggle is in the right position the common will be connected to the left leg; so if the toggle is normally on the right with the left position being the momentary contact, then you'd connect the wiring across the center and right legs.

their should be a diagram either that comes with it or on the site you buy it from. if im not mistaken its as simple as attaching the white from the power header to the +and attaching the black from the header to the -. you should be able to leave the rest of the poles empty. if you want to try something a bit more complicated you can buy a led vandal switch which look WAY cooler for power switches. you can find em on performance-pcs.com and other pc modding sites.
