    Any push to make switch will do it, with almost any bit of cable!

    I like the hotwire method, Just touch two wires together, and that's your switch... (JK)

    I always just use the cables from an old case, but that's me...

    It's not difficult at all. Just get a bunch of THESE plugs and crimp some 24 gague wire on the pins. They are the 4 position plugs, but are easily cut down to 3 or 4-pin to suit what you need.

    i love the traditional approach-- raid your old case for the niiice twisted cables,, although if it is an acrylic case you could use really thin copper traces to the button to give a cool cable-less effect :D
