How do I wire the PC power from MB to button?

Hi guys, right I want to wire the PC power from the motherboard to a button on the back of my cab. I don't have any connectors for the MB so whats the best way to go?

Nephasth:
Cut the wires off the computer's power button and wire them up to an arcade switch (or some other type of momentary switch).

Cougar888:
I'm guessing I'm speaking to the saame guy from the Hyperspin forum, if not it's spooky LOL I don't have a case which is why I don't know how to wire it. I was expecting to use the connector and wires in that way then realised I didn't have them :(

Nephasth:
No, I don't post on the Hyperspin forum. You can sacrifice a USB header cable to hook up to the power header... Or salvage parts from a computer someone is throwing away...

Cougar888:
Wow thats weird the guy on there gave the same answer almost word for word LOL I was thinking of cutting another header up but I don't have anything. I may have a PC speaker somewhere or could buy one as they're cheap, would that work?
