What IR receiver are you currently using with your Harmony remote? Is it the built in IR/VFD module or a separate receiver that you plugged in?
In order to do this with the built in IR/VFD module you need to:
Wire the Antec Case so that the wire from the Power button goes to the back of the VFD/IR module. And then take the wire from the VFD/IR module and plug that into your Motherboard. It sounds like newer cases already have this done by default. Mine did not and I had to remove the front panel (3 screws I think) to do this. Here is Antec's explanation (see the 2nd question):

After it has been wired you need to set up LIRC (unless you have already done this).
Hooked up the power cables as you suggested, tight fit, but got there. Now I just need to configure my remote to do the right calls!
Ok just looked at my keymap.xml, and I am doing XBMC.Shutdown(), but that only shuts down XBMC, not the PC.
What command should I link to the power option to shutdown the entire linux box?
