Dell 4600c Front Panel I\O switch Mod

Hello,

I'm doing a custom case mod / replacement for my Dell 4600c PC & I've hit a snag that needs to be solved A.S.A.P. as I'm having a neighbor help with cutting the required holes.

The Dell 4600c is not an easy PC to do a case mod for as almost all of the connections as far as I have read are proprietary connections.

What I'm looking for and have read so far is a SPST (single pull, single throw) switch I believe to replace, or attach to the current power button and I'm on a time crunch so I have to be able, hopefully, find a switch at my local Radio Shack today.

However I need a little guidance as to my options on switches, I can if push comes to shove do a little re-soldering to attach a switch to the panel but I'd prefer a switch that utilizes the switch already on the board as shown in the images I've attached.

The images are high definition to show clearly what switch I'm talking about. So I need some guidance and suggestions from those that do case modding / re-wiring on a regular basis & can tell me what would be an appropriate switch to buy.

edit: If I remember reading correctly it's a STSP Momentary switch, I'd prefer a push button switch (illuminated or Non, whichever is easier). Not looking for toggle or rocker switches, the more discreet the switch the better.

Not sure I'm following what you want to do, but will these help?
Amazon.com: 6x6x6mm Tact Switch (Pack of 12): Computers & Accessories

Why don't you try to do some sort of membrane that covers the button similar to the membrane buttons on the microwave?

Don't believe that would work as the board will by mounted on the side (or as close as I can get it) of the enclosure but there will also be the ribbon/flat cable attached as well.

This will push the board away from the side, therefore the board won't be flush with the side to allow for something like that.

I need a tact switch button cap 1/4 inch long or more since the panel is going to be mounted inside the case.
