I'm rack-mounting a computer and wonder about the reset button -what kind would be most practical to get hold of?

It has to be on the 19" front panel, but obviously not too easy to press accidently so I'm thinking something recessed and of course not right next to the on/off switch. Electrically, a single-pole momentary type will do. Does anyone have any specific suggestions as I haven't yet come across anything suitable?

Here's a photo of the existing reset switch -the small square one sticking out next to the three round sockets on the side (photo courtesy of http://www.spacereh.de/hc/at/atmegaste.htm)

any push to make momentary should be OK
