What kind of wire do I use?

Right, basically I'm setting up a power supply to a separate switch in order to turn it on without the use of a motherboard.

I have bought all I need except for the wiring to go from the switch to the green and black pins on the Power Supply's ATX connector.

Now... I have no idea what kind of wiring to use. It may sound like a simple question, but I've never had to think about it before. I do a damn PC Systems Support course at College and I don't know this! I just usually grab some wire and get on with it.

Now, I have a feeling it's just copper wiring, but I wanna be sure with someone who knows.

Also, if anyone could find a link to a UK shop that sells it, I'd appreciate that, too.

Cheers all

anything that conducts can be used to start a PSU. I use a bent paper clip

copper wires the best (cheap) conductor.

B&Q et al sell it by the metre fairly cheap.

I need it all on a seperate switch so I can turn it off and on at will, rather than getting in that close to turn it on each time, otherwise I just use a paperclip
