Don't get that one..... What are you trying to achieve with it??

Bluedeath:
when the ATX PSU get power the pc will start, the capacitor tricks the mobo making it believe that the power button has been pressed. If the mobo BIOS has the function "status after power loss" this is not needed.

javeryh:
Do many computers not support powering on and off with the press of a power button?  Wouldn't rewiring the computer power button to a pushbutton on the outside of the cabinet and plugging everything into a smartstrip-like device (speakers, monitor, marquee light, etc.) be the easiest thing to do?

HaRuMaN:
I'd like to get this button and modify it to be the power switch...

Doomsday Button

Sarcastro:
I have the doomsday button wired for my cab now I am still building the cab so i will have to post pics this weekend.  Wiring the button was strange becasue it requires power so I hooked it up to a powered usb hub and cut the wire that goes to the speaker internally and wired that to the PC works great.  I have a hidden panel in the side of my cab which flips down when you press the corner.  I thought about wiring two to a circuit so you would have the turn the keys simultaneously like a missile silo but then i would never be able to play by myself.
