how do you turn on your computer?

[her34]

i flip on power strip (monitor turns on from power), then case button

what's your procedure?

 

[bjc112]

I don't.

Stays on all the time. If it needs turned on, just hit the ACTUAL PS.

 

[PizzaDude]

Open up the case and short the power pins on the motherboard.

 

[her34]

no one boots computer from keyboard? or has computer boot on power from power strip?

I say "Computer On" and it turns on. It also responds to "Firefox" "Thunderbird" "Notepad" "Calc" "Computer Off / Suspend / Reboot" "Gaim" and anything else I'd like. 😀

I don't have to say anything, "It just knows" SM

I use wake-on-lan.

I shouldnt tell anyone this, or they might steal it...

I redesigned an alarm clock, so that when it goes off, it sends a WOL signal to my computer...

It looks funny, because I have a cat5 cable running out the back of the clock into the wall...

I think it would be cool to have a network clock that could play MP3/OGG/FLAC on alarm.

CTRL + F1 does it for me. Unless I want bother to opening the door and pushing the power button. I did have it set for any key on the keyboard to turn it on, then I got kids............ 🙂

with my finger

 

[yezhou]

Index finger > Power button.

But sometimes I like to switch things up a bit and be daring and use my middle finger instead...oooooooooooooo...

 

[sfmedic]

And sometime I get really talented and stand on one foot while pushing the power on button with the big toe of the other foot.

 

[Budman]

I press any key on the keyboard to turn it on & use the Sleep key on the keyboard to turn it off. 🙂

A bottle of wine and some barry white playin in the background...

[PhlashFoto]

I just flip the switch on the wall and say: " Let there be light... "

 

[thegimp03]

I press the button on the front of the case.

Powerbutton, but all the gadgets attached to the computer are connected to an USB controlled powerrail, so they automatically turns on when the computer is turned on, and automatically turns off when the computer is turned off. Nice for printer, modems, speakers external haddrives etc.
