Hi all,

looking to put 4 computers on a shelf that runs along the top of the wall both for better display and to free up space on the table and floor.  My kids are young and won’t be able to reach the power buttons and I was looking for either a remote control, keyboard power on, or wire in a button and mount to desk. Thoughts? What’s an easy and clean solution.

I found this one to be neat:

 

The OP of this post got a mechanical keyswitch, wired it to the motherboard's power pins and that just jumped them, causing the PC to turn on.

well, you could always just get a button, and mount it to the power button of the case in parrallel. this way the case button still works, and you can route the other button through the case down to your desk.
