Extending and replacing my PC's power button - how to?
markronz:
OK, after reading around a bit, I have found that a power button needs to be "momentary" and "normally open". So I am pretty sure he meant NO as in "Normally Open".
So does anyone know how I can tell if this button I have is normally open?
tykenfitz:
hook up the button to an led circuit, if the led goes on when you push the button and it's off when you don't it's normally open.
(I'm 99.99999999999999% positive its NO anyway)

This is pretty unnecessary. Just snip the old one and wire it up. It will work.
also, there should be more power options (instant shutdown etc) in the MB bios in case you want to change them too

I did wire it up and it worked, thanks so much for the help guys!
