I'm a huge fan of thin-ITX boards: lower overall volume, DC-input operation and some of them even have the ability to host a low power GPU!
With all of that in mind, one thing bugs me: there are several manuals stating that some of these boards can be powered by atx PSUs. To be pretty precise, they can be powered by the 4pin EPS connector. Beyond the fact that we can make a PSU run "always on" by hooking the 16th pin with any ground wires, I'm really interested in having a rig that can be "normally powered off", by the press of a single button.
The question goes here: is it possible to connect the PSU and front panel wires in some sort of circuit that, by pressing the power button, the system turns on/off (the PSU and then the mobo, in that specific order)?
If you guys need some pics to work with, here is the hardware I have to work with: GA-h110TN-M, paired with an Enhance ENP-7025B.
The red circle on the mobo's pic is where the manual states that the EPS plug goes in.
