anyone know if this is possible? i know that "control + eject" will bring up the shutdown menu. but is there a way to turn the tower on without using the power button?

my old B&W G3 with a ADB keyboard had a ">" button that performed this function.

any info is always appreciated

Not possible. You need a keyboard with a power switch or one of those USB power switches.

Yup, not possible without an additional USB device with a power switch.
