I assume you are talking about the front panel power switch. Although
each computer case has a somewhat different mechanism, most switches
come from a selection of "standard" available types in the electronics
industry. The only way to find out is to open your case, remove the
switch and take it to an electronics parts store. If you don't have one
near you (Radio Shack does not count!), then you might have to seek for
information online. There should be a manufacturer and part number
molded into the switch body to help you identify it. It may be possible
that some well stocked hardware store may have a selection of switches
as well. Good luck.

Power switch has gotten touchy . . . does not always work.  Has a funny
feel to it.  Does not always "click".  Currently, I just unplug it, lest
I turn it off and not be able to power it up again.
