This Instructable is a fairly easy one, requiring only a few common tools and some cheap parts from your local Radio Shack or equivalent.
Tools:
Wire cutters & strippers
Soldering iron
Solder
Screwdriver(s)
Drill
X-acto knife/Stanley knife
Multimeter
Hot-glue gun
Hot Glue
Parts:
Ethernet cable (the length is up to you, I used a short one as the distance between my router and Xbox is tiny.)
Enclosure/project box (again, size is up to you, but smaller is better in this case.)
Heatshrink tubing
Veroboard
Spare Xbox 360 controller battery shell (it won't ever hold batteries again, make sure you aren't using it.)
Generic hook-up wire
Shielded wire (we'll be using the shield as another wire, feel free to substitute a different type of wire.)
Two watch-battery holders (CR-2032, CR-2025 or CR-2016 recommended.)
Two watch-batteries to suit the holders
A normally-open push button (I used a button that had both N.O. and N.C. but it's not necessary.)
A SPDT (single-pole, double-throw) 6 volt relay
All up, this should cost you under $15.
