Putting the PC power button on the cabinet

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.
