I want to turn on my pc from the control panel. I don't want to have to go into the cabinet and press the power button every time I want to power it up. How would I go about doing this? I have a dell Dimension 8300 Thanks! |

This is the switch Im getting (this one is pre wires, im gonna wire my own to save some money). This will plug right into your motherboard. http://www.frozencpu.com/products/6273/ele-302/Prewired_Bulgin_Vandal_Power_Switch_w_LED.html Im then going to use a smart strip so that when I power up my PC everything else powers up and then when I shut it down everything else shuts off as well. 1 switch for everything |

I rewired the computer power button to an easy to reach location. It works great! :cheers: |

I used the UK equivalent of the Smart Strip and have the PC as master.... I cut the leads off of the back of the PC on button and extended them to a button on the CP..... Then found out with having 2 cats this was a crap idea..... It now resides behind the coin door........ |

I cut the lead off the motherboard and extended and connected it to an Ultimarc Ultralux button just below my monitor. Inside the cab I have a smart strip to take care of the monitor. Works great. |
