Apple IIe front power control?

[thenzero]

What are the options for controlling the power switch from the front? My desk is getting kinda crowded and it’s hard to get to the switch on the back.

ideas so far:
-use a power strip for power control
-move the power supply out of the case
-using a power relay with a switch

None of them are great options. What does everyone else do?

Will a Kensington System Saver not work?

Neat! That would probably be perfect although they look expensive.

Found a Newpoint Switcher 2000 Plus for super cheap. Thanks for the idea.

I can see why, it’s such an elegant solution to the issue, and it creates some other useful functionality at the same time.
