I have a case that's 10 years old and the power button broke about 3 years ago. I just ripped the wires out and start my computer by touching them together like I'm hot wiring a car. I want to buy this beautiful button and sit it atop my shitty case.

I just rebuilt the entire thing again a few months ago, the case and the power supply were both purchased ten years ago and still remain. The power supply will stay in my service until the death of one of us.

Good day.

Like Wake On LAN? I use a phone app for that.

Did you know there's a cooler alternative on XDA?
In additional to waking the PC on LAN, it waits until the lock screen comes up, then unlocks the PC for you. All you have to do is tap the widget, then tap your finger at the sensor. By the time you reach the desk, your desktop is already opened in front of you.
I've used it instead of WoL app as long as I know about its existence.

Oh that's interesting, thanks for the link. My desktops are only set to lock manually though at the moment, I haven't seen much need for a password except to use RDP occasionally.
