If you have a dedicated PC for your sim racing rig, media centre or just about anything else, chances are the tower is tucked away somewhere inconvenient and reaching it to turn it on (or off) can be a nuisance.

So today we’re going to solve this problem with a handy and easy little project to build a remote power button you can mount on your wall, sim rig or just about anywhere else. This is completely reversible and can be disconnected should you need to move your PC.

NOTE: The button and enclosure may not be identical to the ones I used in the video but will do the job.
