Hello! I am in need of a pc power/reset switch that I can mount behind a NAS in the PCI slot to replace the front buttons. Does anyone know if this even exists? I have a 16-month-old that likes turning on/off my server every couple of minutes so I need to prevent that from happening, hence I thought of this. Thanks!
 
get a momentary switch like this.

screw the nut between the pci slot brackets on the back. Attach two wires and attach them to power button leads on the motherboard.
 


Thanks for the suggestion. I was thinking about something prebuilt but I can certainly go this route if I can't find it. Would this need to be a "normally-open" or "normally-closed" switch? I'm guessing "normally-open" but want to make sure.
