No, you need an off-momentary switch. Almost all switch designs (including the one you've got) come in off-on, off-momentary and sometimes on-off-on. You want off-momentary, if you're replacing the switch.

I would suggest you buy a normally open momentary switch too.
That's one that is closed when you press it but opens when you release it. (Like one of your control panel pushbuttons, which will work for what you want to do, but you will have to make a larger hole.)
But if you want to go the route of the capacitor, it wont hurt your pc. Let me know if you decide to do this, I will pitch up a couple of ideas.

Momentary switches are sometimes labeled "OFF - (ON)".

The parentheses indicate momentary contact.
