I'm modding a case to fit 2 motherboards in it. I have 5 5.25 inch bays and I want to use 2 bays for the power buttons, 1 for each motherboard. The only problem is I can't find them anywhere and I feel like they don't exist as they have no reason to.
If they do, can anyone show me where to get one? If not, what would be another solution?

Sounds like a neat mod.
I have never seen a power/reset button in a 5.25 bay. But itll be easy to make your own. All the buttons do is short out two pins on the motherboard which give it the power and reset signal.

Youll need two momentary switches, some wire, a drill and youll be good. You can solder the wires too so they are cleaner.

Youll need some wire like this so you can connect the switch to the pins of the motherboard

And then youll need to extend the wire to reach wherever you want the switch to be as those wires are decently short.

I hope I explained everything...

I hope I explained everything alright. If you have any confusion, ill help clear it up. Good luck with the mod!
