Hey @pete8475, how did you solve power on/off issue? The power button on this case is a toggle and not push type. How did you connect it, and PSU?

Oh it was never a problem because it's easy to adapt those with an ATX to AT power supply adapter like this.
That's just an image I found online, it's not the exact one I used in this machine. The computer is currently in a closet buried under other various projects so I can't pull it out to get pics at the moment.
Also if you can't be bothered to buy one of those adapters you can just connect the 2 pin reset button to the 2 pin power button connector on the motherboard (provided it's an ATX compatible AT board).

So I assume you didn't have automatic power off, and sleep mode, right?

Yep.
EDIT - although if you're using an ATX power supply and the reset button connected to the power header everything like that should work just fine. I just like the clunk of the at power switch.
