I think the easiest solution is this :
1) Get yourself a switch
2) Get a surge protector / power strip
3) Cut open and strip the wire casing on the power cord coming from the power strip. Just expose 3" - 4"
4) Cut and strip the WHITE wire (there will be 3 wires - black green and white)
5) Cut 2 lengths of 18 gauge wire to whatever length you'll need to reach from the power strip to where you want the button mounted. Strip 1.5" from each end.
6) Twist the ends of each 18 gauge wire to each of the white wires and finish with wire caps. You'll have a long wire coming from each cut white wire from the power strip.
7) Attach the other ends of the 18 gauge wire to the switch by using quick connects.
Switch the power strip to the ON position and leave it always ON. The switch you added to the length of wire will now control the power to the power strip.
9) Set the power option in your PC bios to "Power on" when power is lost and then restored.
10) Plug your PC and anything else that doesn't require constant power into that power strip. Example, whatever you want to turn on with the master switch.
11) The first time doing this you will have to switch the PC on manually. But after that, just shutdown normally and then use the new power switch to cut power.
When you switch power back on, the PC will boot right up because it had lost power and now is getting power, so the bios will tell the PC to boot.
This is very simple to do and doesn't require you to hack your PC power or anything. The only hacking is to a power strip wire. Then mount your switch wherever. use a project box from Radio Shack to keep it self contained and then just mount that box for a neater look.

I've been wrapping up a few finishing details, one of which is a single power switch for for all that is contained in the cab.
I have sourced ATX power supplies (mfr'd by POWERMAX) that have an additional power source for
