Thanks.

If it's a standard desktop PC, you need a open/close switch, not a 12v PS switch. Assuming you are connecting it to the PWR header on your mother board?

The power button on your PC is a momentary switch (push for "on" or push for "off"). I believe the remote switch you linked to is a toggle switch (toggles the contacts between closed or "on" and open or "off") and would not work.

It looked more like a 12v supply?

•Receiver Features:
•Receiver Input Voltage: 12 VDC
•Receiver Output Voltage: 12 VDC
•Receiver Output Current: 15 Amp Maximum

So, something more like this:

Nice find... even has reset. Looks like a good product. Not sure why it doesn't go directly to the MB jumpers, or maybe it does and the power cable adaptor is for a override reset.

Well one thing I don't understand here is that, how it says start/reset your pc either manually OR remotely, as I can see that those power/reset wires from MB would go into PCI wireless card power/reset pins THEN WHERE WOULD THAT FRONT PANEL POWER/RESET WIRES GO ?????

Well I did read about installation pdf on that site i guess it has two option of power/reset wires to be connected on that PCI card.

can you just confirm.

The front panel wires would connect to the card and the card would connect to the motherboard.

A few years ago I took apart an old RC car and hooked it up to a USB header providing 5VSB power and the power and reset pins. Worked great. It was a fun and simple project.

Yes. I read about it on pdf , it has two options.
