Because that would require me to put a power strip inside my cab.
I'm hoping to avoid that if possible.

I HIGHLY suggest Oscar's method, just make sure the speakers you get are stereo speakers, well I mean you can get a mono set of speakers, but it sounds much clearer when you have a stereo output.  It hooks up exactly the same as a mono, but it's stereo ya know.  Usually a stereo set of speakers is only 5 dollars more, I got my set that came w/ a subwoofer for $15.99.  Cyber Acoustics at Fred Meyer, works like a charm.

I think everyone is missing the pont of my post.  I intend to use the oscar controls method.  The only difference is that I want to ditch the power brick and power them off of the PC power supply.

I just wanted to run my plan past a few more sets of eyes to see if there was anything I was overlooking.  Ya know, maybe someone else had tried this before and found a problem with it that I didn't consider.
