: Yeah, the power switch on an ATX mobo is a couple of pins that need to be "jumped" in order to power on. I don't know of a way to power it on when you flick a power switch on.

: HOWEVER, a lot of motherboards let you have an alternate power-on, such as mouse1, spacebar, esc. If you already have one of those as a button on your control panel, then you'd just have to hit that specific button to power the PC on.


I have a switch on the back of my cabinet that powers on the power strip inside the cabinet. Right now the speakers, monitor and computer are all in the "ON" position and the power strip is left on as well. When I power on the cabinet, the strip powers up and everythign on it powers up. Problem is, like I said, that I have to turn on the computer via the power button on the front of the case.

I'll try jumpering the power switch on the mobo and see if that works.
