I'm putting my cases in the basement, which is located directly under my office room. I'm looking for a pre-built power & reset control box so I can turn off and reset the 3 computers (located in the basement) from the office room. Wired only, no RF.

Is there a place that sells a pre-built control box unit that has 3+ power and 3+ reset switches? I've looked around but couldn't find anything.

I'd rather buy something pre-built, instead of crafting one, but it looks like I may have to make it myself.
 
Yeah, I've never heard of anything remotely (heh) fitting that description. Due to the length of the cable, it might be better to use relays. All you'd really need is a project box from Radio Shack, some momentary switches, 26-24 guage wire, and some headers. For the wire, I suggest Cat5 as it's cheap and makes cable management easier.
 
After some digging, I found the following device. Unfortunately, it looks like the company is out of business, meaning I can't find a place that sells them.

I may just have to craft my own. :)
Any ideas??
 
if you really need it, you could extend the already existing power and reset cables out the back of your case, up to your office, and then make a simple project box that conatins the matching switches, I am assuming you won't plan on moving the computers very often.
