+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 :) |

So the smart strip has the "smart" outlet that fires up all of the slaves when it detects the draw? --- End quote --- Yes, it's groovy. --- Quote from: CoryDee on June 04, 2012, 08:05:29 am --- Do you have a link on hand to build your own? Searched around and can't find any information. Thanks Boss. --- End quote --- Not off handedly, sorry. I am 90% sure it was PBJ tho. Sorry. |

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. |
