Don't use momentary! It makes it too easy to turn off the machine while playing. I think setting the computer on reboot from power failure is the nicest, or wire the normal power-on button to another button (Whit those you need to push it 5 seconds to shut it down immediately, much nicer than the direct killing with a momentary mains switch.

sounds like a normal computer button to me

I've wired everything up to a smart powerbar, with my PC as the master device.
I purchased a small momentary switch from the Source (think RadioShack yanks) for a couple dollars and wired it into the pc power button wire. It's a simple mod, and as long as you're careful where you mount it, it shouldn't pose any problems.
