I bought one in 2002 custom built with a reset button, but if the pc doesn't have a reset button, turning it off and then on serves the same purpose with a slight difference. reset clears the pc before shutting it down. This used to make a difference but may not any more.

That doesn't mean it's not there, just that the last few computers I've had either don't have on or it's been hidden and my lack of a concerted effort has prevented me from finding it.
