    Link doesn't work --Xoxide being awkward...

    You probably could but will end up spending more than $40,-- --unless you really know what you are doing.

    You could do the same with a cheap wireless doorbell from Home Depot. Just wire up a relay off the speaker and connect that to your power switch jumpers. Cheap but also kindof ghetto.

    Yeah, the doorbell method seems good (if you don't mind soldering etc.)

    Here's a guide.

    Great Guide. I suppose that it would be possible to use the same method to lock the computer when I am away from it. What would I need? :dremel:

    If anyone in the UK wants to know where you can get cheap wireless doorbells from, I saw one in ASDA for £4 the other day. Know you cant go wrong with that.
