+1 on the smart strip.

i have one push button that turns on the PC which is plugged into the "hot" port.

the "slave" ports then fire on lighting, speakers, monitor, etc.

the "always on" ports, i have my mini fridge plugged into and also the flip down lcd screen

all that from one strip and one button :)

Yes, it's groovy.

Do you have a link on hand to build your own? Searched around and can't find any information. Thanks Boss.

Not off handedly, sorry.  I am 90% sure it was PBJ tho.  Sorry.

I'm in the build your own camp.  I have a few posts on it on my site.

Link for a switch relay for your cab.   DIY Switched Relay

The yellow and black wires (12V) on a disk drive molex are used to turn on the relay and power the power strip when the computer is turned on with a single PB wired to the motherboard power on.

Hmm....I have a spare LCD monitor from an old car DVD player.  12vdc powered and RCA vid input.  Hmmm...this gives me ideas.

Do you have pics of your installation?
