Remote power on for monitor

[Drakin]

I had a great Idea for my monitor since it's an old dog with a manual button to turn it on and off. I figured I could wire an automotive relay into the computer power supply to switch on the monitor if I spliced inline with the power cable...

Maybe a pic will help explane:

I'll take a pic of the cord when I get home.

The red and white wires not connected will got to the powersupply.

and always leave it in the 'on' position.
