Real easy. Extend the wires from the motherboard to the power switch that your current case has. You will either need to use that switch (mounted wherever you want it, or purchase a new momentary switch to use, and leave your original switch in the computer case with noi wires to it. I used the switch from an old case, cut it out with a dremel and epoxied it into a plate in my dash. Works great. You can also extend the LED's if you want, so you can see power on and hard drive working. You can see my plate on my website under "Version 1".
