Remember on some mac's they have that funky on/off switch where you don't technically push an on/off button? All you do is touch the spot where the on/off switch or marker is and the computer turns on and the area where your finger pressed lights up.

Well, i was wondering if there are any manufacturers that make this thing that I can incorporate into my cooler master atc201c case.

I think this mod would be very nice specially with a perplex cover or just by itself. Just imagine touching without any force a certain area of your case and your computer turns on.

Any ideas, comments, suggestions, etc please let me know. Thanks in Advance!

I don't know...I'd be afraid I was going for my CDROM and accidentally brushed by the sensor, and turned off my PC. We have Macs at a lab here and those switches are VERY sensitive! Plus on the new Macs, the power switch on the monitor also turns on/off the machine, which can cause some unwanted shutdowns.

Still, I'd like to see some PC manufacturers try some of this type of innovation.
