    alrite i got a new PC case so i removed my old one and installed the stuff in my new one.
    In my old PC case was a POWER SWITCH and RESET SWITCH. I got those switches with WIRES connected to it. now i want to use that SWITCHES with the Wire TO MAKE a wireless Switch.
    NOW this is what i mean
    If i am downstairs and want to turn ON my pc then i can USE the switch to turn ON my PC.
    SO I mean. just like a TV has a REMOTE and a pwer switch on the TV
    i want to make a Wireless remote for my PC.
    REply if u have any idea.
    i am willing to buy stuff. so if u think i will have to buy stuff then tell me what.

    I saw a kit you could buy that had to be soldered and put together though. I dont remember where it was but it was some kind of RF PC Power Switch kit and it had a remote like you have for your car a little thing that goes on you keychain. I would also like more info on this because I like that idea.
