Power buttons for open stand?

[maxonliniux]

Hello, TH. I am going to build a PC without any chassis, so it will haven't power or reset button, etc. Is it any control panels for open stands (maybe something like OC Dashboard for MSI XPower mobo, etc). I'm going to purchase ga-z170m-d3h or MSI z170 Mortar because of price. Maybe it is any z170 motherboards with control buttons (power at least) for approx 150$? Who has any suggestions? Thanks.

There are 5.25" bay modules that have such buttons in addition to USB and such.

Other than that, a DYI solution would work fine. Both the power and reset buttons simply short a couple of pins each when pressed, so you can literally just use a regular button with a couple of wires.

so, can I use the MSI oc dash with any other mobo?
