homemade pc power remote.

You could try using a wireless door chime as a wireless switch. I have them here at home for about AU$10, so they're pretty cheap.
And here's a tutorial about using it in an Xbox, although it could easily be done in a PC. Just use a molex for your power and use the tutorial as a guide and you're set.

Thanx, I might give this a go. This would be a cheap alternative and I could easily upgrade to another system later without throwing away a lot of money. Humm.... Ill give it a try and if it doesn't work, ill trash it.

I saw a guide on the web the other day...

about powering up your XBox wirelessly.

Here is the door bell guide for the pc..

The only major benefit I see here is its RF, so it doesn't need to be line of site like the IR remotes are.

Good luck

Thanx OvRiDe, are the pix not working for you guys as well? I was interested in seeing the wiring diagram for the relay.

EDIT: They are working now, Humm something fishy is goin on around here lol.
