Fantastic. I got the same mini PC for my 2 player cabinet I just started building. I was wondering how to wire everything so it all starts at the same time with this PC? I watched the new 1h long video with the relay boards but I can't figure out how the pc is going to send power to the board? Have I missed something?
A lot of these mini PCs have settings in the BIOS to turn on with the power. Then you can have a button that launches a script to turn off the PC using something like Autohotkey. Easiest solution without having to open the PC, drill, or solder anything.
I just did this on a new GMKtec Nuckbox G5 and the solder points are terribly small and directly next to the LED power leads. Its a 4 pin mini switch. That was a nightmare to solder and I had to use my LCD microscope to do it. I wish these companies would just add some VIAs or test pads for use to wire our own switch.
Great video, I recently got one of these and want to make a custom console out of it. This will help me make a alternate power switch.
Thank you!

I connected the relay board to a SATA cable :-)
As always, great video Daniel!
love the videos. They are very detailed and informative. thank you
Great guide thanks. I have been looking to do this on a Dell optiplex micro for an arcade build.

Thanks, but this is a more professional/reliable way in my opinion :-)
switchbot would do the job too
Great guide, thank you!

Haha you are right. I now bought a digital microscope that solves this problem in a cool way! Super easy to solder SMD size components now :)
@@TheDanielSpies_Arcades yeah I actually used a digital microscope to solder my mini pc board switch. lol I need a better iron.
Thank you for sharing!
Great, thanks for sharing.
@thedanielTheDanielSpies_Arcades what type of cord/wire is that? (whats the name if I wanted to get a longer cord for the external switch.
3 PIN JST connector? The wires can be any AWG as there is (almost) no current running through them.
Or just modify the bios to turn on automatic instead of do that lol
