    I've done it on both my NF7-s and my DFI infinity, but I've got reset added as well . You just need to solder a switch between 2 points. I'll check which points I used later

    There's also a very easy way to start the board outside the case without any switch. Just use a screwdriver to short the correct pins et viola, the board will start or reset (depending on which pins you shorted). All you will need is a screwdriver, the motherboard manual and a steady hand.

    Probably not a good idea that...
