Where do I find little plugs that plug into the on/off pins on motherboard?
Ken Layton:
You want "DIP Programming Shunts".
Radio Shack part number 276-1512 (package of 10 around $2).

As always, Ken's the man.
Note, these are "closed jumpers". If you want to be able to attach a switch (momentary or otherwise) to connect two pins on your mobo, you should be able to do so using two of these shunts.
All you do is put one shunt on each pin, with the shunts turned 90-degrees (perpendicular) to the row of pins This will leave each shunt only 50% 'used'. In the open end of each shunt, jam some solid copper wire (you can use stranded, but solid will be easier to work with) and then connect the other end of the wires to your switch. Voila, now you've got yourself a homemade version of this:
