Wiring a REMOTE computer power button

[MAME nut]

After going thru old threads, I'm attempting to splice into the two wires on my computer's power button....and run a remote switch to the outside of my cabinet.

I'm not sure if this is the sort of thing you are after ?

I noticed that ras2a is linking a site in the UK...

They are called many things like wire splices or scotch locks (brand name) and you should be able to find them at home depot.

Thanks for the responses. 

I has able to find the clip pictured above at a local hardware store.  I was amazed that the whole project only tooks 15 - 20 minutes.....now I start everything from one button located on the top of my machine!!!

Those wire taps come in very useful.  I have a huge bag of them

Glad you found some.  I think radioshack carries something simular too.

From what I've researched, it seems that WHAT TYPE of computer and switch you have will determine IF you can add a remote switch.
