Ever since I had a cat induced computer outage when one jumped onto the case and sat on the power button, I've taken to the simple expedient of not connecting any of the buttons on the case, setting the machine to start when the power comes on. The big switch for the power bar is much less sensitive to cat induced failures.
On a related note, which idiot of a designer decided that buttons should be put on the top of the case, where they're hard to reach if the case is in any kind of enclosure and easy to set off accidentally if they're not?
