This is what I use. It plugs into a USB 2.0 header for power (there is also a PCIe x1 version if you don't have a free USB 2.0 header, though I've never used this version), and then a cable runs from the device to the front panel header power switch, and it has a y-cable so you can retain the case power switch as well.

The battery life of the remote is not great, lasting about 4 months or so on a battery, but it works reliably from across the room, which is what I needed. The batteries are just standard CR2032 lithium cells (it uses 1), so it's the same as a CMOS battery for convenience, at least.

I think that only applies to pressing the button while the computer it already on. the button still works normally when you're turning it on.

One option is to buy a remote or something for the PC. You can unplug the power + and - pins coming from the front panel to the motherboard and plug this in instead so its the only method of turning it on(unless someone physically touches the 2 pins together with a conductive object.

Something like this

If you search around, there's probably more options for powering up too.

Buy this and don't connect the power button of the case to it. So only way to turn on/off would be with that remote.

This is the one I bought: https://www.amazon.com/SilverStone-Technology-Wireless-Interface-ES02-USB/dp/B01MQUANS8/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=remote+pc+power&qid=1619135039&sr=8-3

I believe Silverstone makes a PCIe version as well

You could simplify this by using a ready made solution like This kit from silver stone and modifying it for you button.

Like this?

I've had good success with these but they go through batteries surprisngly quickly https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MQUANS8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

If you want to wall mount it by any chance make sure it sits there nicely and also consider a Silverstone remote control Start/Reset button. Here is a look at how it works.

What I have thought about in the past is trying something like https://www.amazon.com/SilverStone-Technology-Wireless-Interface-ES02-USB/dp/B01MQUANS8 and then using something like https://www.amazon.com/Broadlink-Automation-Universal-Compatible-assistant/dp/B07K2DHXB6?th=1 to turn it on and off

Unplug the power button from the motherboard and instead to turn on pc you install a remote: https://www.amazon.com/SilverStone-Technology-Wireless-Interface-ES02-USB/dp/B01MQUANS8

They do in fact make remote switches

Turning off is easy—just use the shutdown command. For power on, you can either use a long two wire cable, or something wireless like this: https://www.amazon.com/SilverStone-Technology-Wireless-Interface-ES02-USB/dp/B01MQUANS8

No need to replace the case, you can install one of these instead.

I added a remote control to power on/off my pc using this product from amazon. Work's great for startup from the couch.

also I use a wireless keyboard (Keychron K4) and mouse to drive when required, but use a bluetooth vibration controller for gaming.

I use this cable to get 4k 60hz from my graphics card mini display port to the HDMI input on my receiver:

Also I suggest to hard wire your internet and avoid wifi when possible.

Exactly, I have one in my computer. its easy to install.

Yup.

What you need is this remote power switch. it wires into your motherboard power/reset switch headers

Set the windows power options to sleep upon pressing the power button and voila!

Disconnect the Power button and put this into the System

Silverstone makes some that are bit nicer these days.

They make this one that plugs into a USB 2.0 header: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MQUANS8

And this one that is PCIe: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075ZMPKW6

Veeery few motherboards come with such feature, probably because no one really uses them. That being said, there are many remote control add-ons that many manufacturers make, like Silverstone. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MQUANS8/ref=cm_sw_r_apa_i_4B3AEbSCTQ42R

This is a cheap solution. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MQUANS8/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_xls8Db61KEK7E
