How to turn a comp on...

[mp3blast]

I have a question: Say i were to build my own case, or like use a large crate for my comp. How would I turn it on without a button? Do i buy a button separately? How do you guys do it?!

two PC's here without a case. I just short-circuit the PWR pins on the mainboard

i've used about anything: screwdrivers, money, screws, pliers.... as long as it's metal (conducting electricity) it'll work ;D

I just grab the reset switch, turbo, or any other soft switch out of an old AT case.
