Completely forgot to share this one with you guys... I sometimes get ideas how to customize some hardware or build somethin new, and here is some stuff I did:

Remote (corded) power/reset switches:
If you need aditional info, just ask ;)
If you made that Power/Reset box off of a Tutorial could you please share it ?
Well I made it out of my head :)
I have a huge case with doors, and I was to lazy to bend down, open the door and press button every time, so I decided to buid that box.
Only thing you need for this is:
- 2 buttons
- wire
- female and male audio connectors
- box to put it all in
- time and basic tools
On my box there are also two extra switches that I use to turn on the lights in the room... but I`ll describe the power/reset buttons only.
Since power and reset work by short connecting two pins on MB, you only need connectors from some old case and lenghten them to some 2-3 meters and connect them to the buttons in the box... extremely simple.
I have also used audio connectors to easily plug in/out the whole system.
Here is a short tutorial in Croatian that I wrote, but pictures might help you see how its made...

As interesting as the 2 mouse look I am wondering if all the holes get uncomfortable after using them for extended periods of time. Are the tops of the holes slightly tapered or are they just straight drilled holes. They do look really good with the LED inside as well.
I am using the first mouse for a pretty long time now, and you don`t even feel the holes ;) Every hole was smoothed out with sandpaper.
That was some serious time and patience. They look really good!
