Ditto, I put a button on the top panel.

Rather than using a relay, one of these would be much safer, plug the pc into the master and when it gets hut down the slaves are turned off.

i do what many others here do...i have a standard arcade button mounted on the top of the cabinet which is wired to the pc power button header on the motherboard. Everything is plugged into a smart power strip so the monitor and speakers turn on and off with the PC.

There's a way in the bios settings on a lot of pc's to 'start up on power failure' or some other similar option.  This way, when you power on any standard power strip the computer boots up without having to hit another button.
