As a temporary fix I am going to use this as my machine for the cab until I want to whip out the wallet to upgrade. Since it's practically a laptop, whats the best way to do power with this thing?

Is it going to be where I am essentially going to have to open the cab and turn it on every time? Would love to do the 1 button turns everything on thing.

Anyways looking for suggestions. Thanks as always. :cheers:

Why not sell the Surface and use the money for the upgrade? :dunno

Lot of great ideas above. Thanks for the suggestions.

On a side note, I have made probably 8 different control panels for this project. However, tonight I had a breakthrough. For those of you who haven't read READY PLAYER ONE, Joust plays a major role in the story - it's really what starts the adventure. With that said, I took the Joust CP and made a 4 player version, but added the RPO twist in from the other pieces on the cab so it ties in. Let me what you guys think.

Yeah, but why go though all that hacking and tearing up the Surface (and ruining it's potential resale value) for a "temporary fix" when for $20 he can get a Core2Duo off CL? :afro:
