The power switch is part of the case. If you're not using a standard computer case, any momentary contact switch will work.

And a moderator note. Be patient awaiting answers here. 24 minutes is fine in a chat room but this is a help forum.

Those are all maintained switches, blue. In order to use one, you would have to turn it off after turning it on.

FXD, have you tried contacting the maker of your case for a replacement? If the case has a Restart switch, you can swap the two switch wires and use the Restart as the Power switch.

When I needed a replacement power switch I just went to the nearest computer shop and bought one from them. I imagine Radio Shack would have something similar too.

If the case has a reset button you can swap the switch with that one temporarily. It's the same type of switch.
