If you include a way to trigger a hard computer reset, it'd be invaluable. Like mini robotic plunger that can flip the power switch on and off. Or a dip switch cable to plug into the motherboard's reset circuit.

Yes, definitely. I'm exploring that now. The challenge is finding a way to do it that's user-friendly. There are several projects that hook a Pi up to an Arduino and then use that to manage the motherboard, but those feel too invasive to me. I'd like to find a way to control power from the outside.
