I bow to Doug's superior web search skills.

There's an image that shows the wires (the
http://www.minomech.com/Prod_ME_PJ_det1.html page) marked "Power SW" which
is what I envisioned needing lengthening outside the case to a momentary
switch.

Would probably work on a desktop Mac as well, with some fiddling. Just
find where the case button connects to the motherboard and adapt it there.
All these case switches are doing is temporarily (momentarily) connecting
the two wires seen in the image to activate the power supply.

For laptop systems ... additional bravery and model-specific case cracking
skills required :)
