Please tell me you're kidding???
A PC power switch makes momentary contact on a 5v control signal. Any two wires will do.

didn't watch the video, did you
Watched enough. The tabs coming out of the bottom of the switch are not magical. You don't need to use Spade slide connectors over them. You can solder to them. You can tie a wire to them at 5 volts for Christ sakes. The other end is standard motherboard pin headers.
Why would one source some sort of specialized cable just put a different case switch on to motherboard pin headers? If you don't already have an Electronics toolbox with all sorts of different bits and bobbins, it's a complete waste of money.
A cable with a 2 pin DuPont connector on it will fit on your motherboard front panel header. Something like this...

There's nothing special per se about that cable. All you need are 2 wires crimped into a 2-pin Dupont connector for the motherboard, with the appropriate crimps for the military switch at the other.
So really the only tricky thing to find would be the connectors for the military switch and, assuming you can't just solder them on.
