Putting the PC power button on the cabinet
picasso:
I too turn my computer on by just touching a button or moving a joystick. I use GameEx for my front end and I have the option of shutting it down from there. If your Bios allows it I think it is easier than chopping up your PC.

You don't need to cut any wires. Just need wire tap-ins.

3M calls them splice connectors

Basically they create a jump between two wires.
You do need to find out which two wires go to your power button. Your motherboard will have a header for speaker, power, hdd light, reset switch, etc.. and most likely will be labelled. If not you have to follow wires.
