Anything that's capable of connecting the two pins on the mobo briefly will work.

I have one pc here, a kind of test rig at the moment. Unboxed, I turn it on with the nearest thing I can find, like the corner of a steel rule or a coin or whatever.

I used it to test this (http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/forum/showpost.php?p=26443&postcount=31)

That's a button from a mouse!

=o



But yes, anything that is a momentary switch will work. you can probably get away with other kinds too, like key, but you have to turn the key then turn it back so the computer stays on.

Almost, it's from a laptop, but it was the mouse button.
