Key command to force computer to sleep?

[MobyIck]

I see where I can set a key command to force the computer to shutdown or hibernate within GameEx but was wondering if there is anyway to force sleep? I have a button on the side of my cab that i've configured through an iPac to send a key command and would like to force the command to sleep the PC (shutting off my monitor etc attached to a power sensitive power strip),

Any suggestions? In the past ive taken apart my PC and attached a wire beween the cab button and the PC power button, but I'd rather not take my new PC apart.

Thanks for any thoughts

Mike

This post describes one way to send a command to hibernate your system. It also links to Microsoft where there is another method that doesn't require extra software.
