How do you guys have your pc power switch set up?
brock.sampson:
Most likely that 8300 has a remote board that the power switch is mounted on that goes back to the mobo via a ribbon cable. I have a precision workstaion with the same kind of setup. I'm going to try and trace the switch lines and tap into the ribbon cable so I can have a remote switch. If you beat me to it let me know how it turns out.

i extended the wires on the pc power switch and connected them to an arcade pushbutton on the top of the cabinet, it works great. plugged the pc into the craftsman auto switch so everything else turns on with the PC. Although i also have problems with my cats turning my cabinet on.

There is a very easy fix for this problem... Before leaving the house, tie the cats feet together and they can't climb up on the control panel. ;D
For even more CP security, tie the left rear leg of cat number1 to the right front leg of cat number 2, and before going out attach some cat nibbles to the right rear leg of cat number two. By the time you get home they will be so tied in knots trying to get the food that they will have ignored your CP altogether ;D
AND whatever you do don't leave any drilling equipment in the house, or both cats will be behind the sofa drilling for oil before you get back!! :cheers:

I just have mine set in the bios to turn on (Restore after failure) when I flip the switch on the power strip.
