Yes, Jakobud, you are correct. You want a momentary switch. An arcade button works fine, but I'm going with something with a little more swank.

A nother option I've seen (and I wish I could find the site I saw it on, because it had great step by step instructions and pictures) is to put your power strip inside the cabinet, cut the cord on it, and install a rocker style switch (one that is designed to handle household current) between the wall and power strip. Then set your BIOS to boot on power restore. You can then mount the switch anywhere  you want providing you have a long enough cord. Throw the switch and the whole power strip comes back on. Of course using a smart power strip makes this unnecessary, but again, I like cool looking switches.
