HI, I got my pc a few meters away from my desk and im to lazy to walk over there and press the power button, any idea how I could geht a power sw extention ore a wireless switch ?

it is just a toggle switch.  You could take the one out of the case and extend it with your own wiring.  As far as wireless goes get a wireless mouse and adopt sleep mode.  All that switch does on your main board is connect the jumper.

Get a remote outlet. Just set the pc to power on as soon as it gets power.

make a simple IR receiver that close the circuit when receive IR signal

then you can turn your computer on with any remote

I have a free app on my phone called "mWOL" I open the app, select my PC and press Wake Up, it then sends a signal to my system (phone wifi > router > PC) and turns it on, but you need to have a motherboard that supports "Wake on Lan" and enable it in the BIOS.
