How can I make a power switch?

[leptoon]

I am making a computer case out of legos and need a power switch and a reset switch. How would I do this? Are there any websites telling/showing how to do this?

Thanks

All it is is a switch that basicaly conects the two leads for a short period of time. You can use any switch you can find at the hardware store realy, just dont leave it on. Best bet it to find a push button switch though. THoes rocker switches will work too, flip it and turn it back off right away.

That's what I was thinking too... I don't really remember my Legos that well but weren't there really flat ones? I'd just superglue that to the top of the button on a $1.99 momentary contact switch from Radio Shack, countersink the switch so that the new switch head is flush with the rest of the case, and go with that.
