switches (electrical gadgets)

Still building the internet cafe. We're thinking of re-routing all the reset buttons to the main desk. We'll probably end up using some cat5 cable and splitting it to the seperate boxes for extending the 2 wires.
I thought with the Jaycar and other different backgrounded people here we might find a viable (and interesting) solution.
Question is:
Is there a pre-built switchboard that has up to 30 buttons on it?
- Buttons need to be spring loaded (don't stay switched)
- Enough room to be used by fingers (ie. not dil switches)
- PC number needs to be displayed somehow
- can't be too big, can be in one long line, or 2 or 3 rows of buttons
- preferable mounting position will be to the under side of a MDF table
- extensible would be great, eg. put another board next to it and get 60 reset buttons.
- wiring can't be too difficult (I can solder and use heat shrink well)
- CHEAP (max $50)
Any other options? Like 30 little red buttons and wire them all individually and hot-glue them to the top of the table.
Also a way to have the wires inside the box to be unpluggable. The connection to the motherboard is a 2 pin connector, I'd like to have the normal reset wires start there and run to the outside of the box where there needs to be a plug where I can plug these extended wires into.
