I don't think I've bought a PC since around the XP days that has an actual
reset button. The only way to hard boot any of the 5 machines I have here is
to hold down the power key.

I ordered stamps from Zazzle that read "Place Stamp Here".

The case I built my new PC in doesn't have a reset switch, either,
though all motherboards still have the headers for one. Irritatingly,
the case didn't contain an internal beep speaker. I had to salvage one
from an old case so I could hear the diagnostic codes, should something
happen.
But, yet, I still have a big physical switch on the power supply that
will actually physically cut power to the motherboard.

The Dell OptiPlex 755's we have at work lack either a reset switch or a
switch on the PSU. If the PC locks, your only recourse is to pull the
cable out of the back. (Unless, you know, you can figure out WHERE THE
HELL IT'S PLUGGED IN. Then you could just turn the power point off...)

You also can hold the power button down for 4 seconds.

You're lucky or just good. I had a tower pc where the large power switch was
just below the DVD drawer. Many a time I was left with my finger on the pressed
in power button feeling as if I had just heard a "click" while walking in a mine
field. ;)
