MOTM

Well, the problem is where are you going to get your low voltage to operated
the relay?  With the power supply off, you have no low voltage source to
pick up the relay.  I suppose you could do something with a rechargeable
battery that gets charged when then PS in turned on.

You could put in a separate low voltage wall wart that was always on to
provide your low voltage power for your relay circuit.

Running then 240 volts to the front panel switch is OK if you are careful,
use the appropriately rated switch and wiring, and pay attention to detail.
I have my 120 volt main switch on the front panel.  You do not have to
replace the MOTM switch.  It can be left in place and simply interrupt the
AC between the switch and the main power transformer in the PC with your new
switch.

Would it be possible to have a remotely operated relay on the AC
input, after the rear panel power switch, inside a power supply like
the MOTM-900? The relay would be controlled by a switch on the front
panel, so that the wiring from the power supply to the front panel
carries no power.

I really would like a front panel power switch and power status leds,
with the AC input on the rear.
