Making a power switch?

I don't wanna put a MB in a case just yet, I am curious if I can make a makeshift power button?

I have a reset button in my hands right now, but no actual button, just the connector. Any ideas?

    the power on switch is a momentary contact switch. All you have to do is connect for a second and the comp will power on. Connect again for 1-4 sec (it's a BIOS setting) and it will power off.

    I made this for the SMx Project test bench. The next revision is going to include Power and IDE Activity LED's.

    Control four caseless computers painlessly:

    Yeah, when testing them I normally short it with a screwdriver or something :)
