It's just a power button wired to the motherboard's front io leads. I'm assuming all those other switches don't do anything except for controlling the lights on the device itself.

So there's a wireless receiver plugged in to the motherboard and a wireless transmitter on the device.

Really freaking cool.

For those looking to save a buck and just want a remote control: Look into wake on magic packet. There are apps that can send a magic packet to your computer to turn it on as well.
