Assuming is has a +5vSBY line (5 volts standby used to power the keyboard
and LAN card for WOL) you could build a small timer circuit that would fire
once when power was first applied to that after 5 seconds or so it would
operate a relay for 1 second thereby simulating the pressing of the on
button.

I've a PC i'd like to automate with X10 but the catch is it has an ATX
motherboard and a bios that won't override the powerswitch.

I had though of locking the powerswitch on but that just powers the machine
on and 5 seconds later off again.

Any suggestions ?

Jeff
