        We started putting our PCs on top of the desks, because as we learned over the years, the ground is full of dust and we are now adults that have to pay for our own PC parts.

          I seem to see an easy solution there…

        Power buttons used to be roughly at the center of the front panel, but now it’s either at the edges or at the top

        The cases got taller and the power buttons moved to the top edge (and often got smaller).

        So now those under-the-desk units have their power buttons directly under the plate. Mine specifically it now more a knee- instead of a foot-job… I could press it with my finger without bending down but you have to keep traditiones alive.
