Hooking up Power Button with pushbutton

Hi all :D

Trying to turn one of my extra pushbuttons into the power button for my computer. It has two wires I need to connect, but I'm not sure which wire connects to ground and NC.

Power Switch (ATX Power)
Standby Voltage (Button)

Thanks For the Help! :D

Here's the beauty of it - it doesn't make a damn bit of difference :).  The pushbuttons act as a sudden closed circuit.  It doesn't really matter which end wires to where if you're hooking a power button up to your motherboard.

They are normal momentery SPST (single pole single throw) switches so it doesn't matter which of the microswitch's connector is ground.
