Title: Motherboard with power button on the board
Post by: JayC on May 20, 2011, 02:49:08 AM
I'm looking for an inexpensive 2 PCI-E 16x board with the power button on the motherboard...  Anybody have any suggestions...  (It's not something you can easily search newegg or amazon for)

Thanks for any help.

Just wire a momentary pushbutton to a jumper.

I realize I could wire a switch up...  I'm trying to see if the motherboards with the switch/LEDs already on it, are cost effective...  vs buying a switch per PC ~$10.

I just find the pins and tuch them with a small piece of metal.. no big deal.

I'm aware of how to 'jump' start a computer with a paperclip...  But, I'm interested in seeing if anybody knows of a good model of motherboard with a power button on the board :)

DFI boards have them, and high-end ASUS. There are few select models of MSI also. You probably just want to buy Gigabyte motherboard with fout PCI-E slots, this is more cost efective.
