Last time still got a hole with rubber grommet at the back. Now it'll have?

it's fine

im using one

but with splitter and reset button

i never connect LEDs cos they are super bright. also taped the connector up to prevent short.

i swapped one of the pci covers to something below. still have to use pliers to make the vent bigger so cables can go thru

total around $10 on shopee

should be getting from taobao, cheaper

now is just wondering which one is better

hmm.. are you on wired or wifi, if wired, can just use Wake Up On Lan and use your smartphone to turn on your PC.
or even use
1) PC remote started.. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007391529628.html
2) Mobile App Wireless PC remote start .. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004685040707.html
3) USB wireless PC remote start .. https://amzn.asia/d/eLos0hj

I find this neater (no wires extending out) plus you will be able to retain case button to start your pc.

I kinda feel that 1 button placed on the tabletop to turn on and off is faster and more convenient
My 2 boys pc is on the floor and deep in under the table
Also the PC isnt turned off completely if use the wake on lan

Same exact model?
Got link ma?
Generally made in china stuffs on shopee can all be found for cheaper over taobao because they are basically the same item

Shoppee cheaper, both models shown.. Even more so due to $3 off voucher (not shown while browsing anon)

ya ur right~
think for this case shopee cheaper due to shipping as value of items too low
taobao the switch is $4, the shipping is also $4
unless i have accumulated shipping then worthwhile for taobao

Don't even need to drill hole la... Sure can squeeze through some hole or sandwich it... Thin wires...

Got this Wireless Power button with the white box. About $15 last time. Link to product.

There are a few versions, some uses USB Power. This version I have does not. There's battery inside both the whitebox that is easily hidden behind the back panel and the power button. However, after using for 2 years, battery hasn't ran out yet. The white box also allows connection of PC case's power button so you can use either remote button or case button. Long press works too to force shutdown the PC.

If you're looking for small sleek version, this ain't it. this button is massive.

I thought of getting this some time back. Love the Evangelion theme.

I haven't opened before actually. I got curious and checked. It's probably a circuit board from some remote... with wires soldered onto the button on the board and connected to the large nuclear button. the 12V 23A battery was just tapped onto it. such a ghetto way of doing things. Luckily, the 23A batteries are pretty cheap to replace.

This is more practical, no wires.. just imagine you move your PC case and forget about the wires.. a simple tug, accident will happened. Else this is wireless.. GOOD. I like it. thanks for sharing @Psycovirus
