Best way to turn on/off MAME cabinet

If the monitor is not like that, I know that some people have wired both their PC and Monitor to the same momentary button to push button for power on. Most of the time, it is like what was mentioned above. The monitor will power back on as long as the monitor was on when the power was cut.

EMDB:

I just use a real power switch which switches on all the electronics (PC, monitor and a 12V adapter for amplifier and marquee lighting).



I have set the PC's BIOS to startup on power. Most of the modern PC's and even my not so new my DELL Optiplex 745 (Core2Duo 1.87Mhz 2GB Ram) have this option .

Hmmm... haven't got my SmartStrip yet - might look into this option. The BIOS I'm using may be a good 5 - 7 years old though.

EMDB - Do you not have any issues from not shutting down the PC "properly" using a PC power button?

I was going to ask the very same question.  I wonder how long it will take before shutting down like that corrupts windows???
