Then again I could be wrong.  Let me know if you get it to work Peale.

I'll have to see if I can dig up an old PS or something, I don't have any caps lying around.  The was he describes it, it just might work.

Some motherboards have a feature in the bios that allows it to automatically boot after power failure.

As stated above, this board doesn't support this feature.  Otherwise I'd use it, believe me!

This thread has intrigued me so I did a google on automatic momentary switch and this was one of the hits.  I know it is for a degaussing coil, but some of the logic seems applicable here.

Try an "Interval On" style time delay relay.
