For the past 2-3 three days I have pressed my ATX case reset button by
mistake repeatedly crashing and rebooting my system. I am being just
plain stupid, dysfunctional for some reason. I mean to press the
eject button on my Iomega Zip 250 drive but I somehow stupidly press
the reset button which is exactly at the same level as the Zip drive.

I have been backing up and reorganizing my hard drive onto my Zip
disks. So I end up swapping in and out Zip disks (I have a working
set of 5 disks) a lot in the past days.

But I have gotten into this spastic habit of pressing the reset
button like an idiot. I try to eject the disk from the file menu but
I forget.

My question is:

How can I fix the reset button to make it more difficult to press but
still be available for those times I need it?

I do NOT want to disconnect the reset from the motherboard inside.

My case has a small reset button that is slightly raised above the
case front surface. Currently I stuck a Post-It note over it so I
can't see to push it. I was thinking of putting a outdoor hose
washer over it to raise the edges so I can't push it in as easy and
maybe see it as a black washer on a beige case would stand out. I
would use double-sided tape to stick the washer on.

Any suggestions out there? Surely someone must have this problem.
Especially with kids.


Next time the Gypsies are by, offer them the kids on a Two For One Special.

If that doesn't work, the washer or a recessed momentary switch should do
the trick. It was thinking of a steel washer, but a rubber one makes more
sense.
