| Starting the cabinet all at once. It works! And here's how... |

What happens when you shut down the cab? I've never taken any electronics classes or anything, but it seem to me that you wouldn't be able to shut down for more than a couple seconds... What I mean by that is: When power is applied to the PC, the power button is already being pressed by the cap. When the cap reaches full capacity it stops pushing the button. Therefore, when you shut down, the cap would cycle the whole thing over again. Am I right? Excuse my ignorance when it comes to electonic components, I can't even correctly solder a modchip to a playstation. ::) |

When you shut down the cabinet (by turning main power off) the capacitor will discharge. Since it's such a small cap, it doesn't take very long (less than a minute) That way, next time you're ready to run the cab again, it all comes on @ once. |

If you shut down the computer (by clicking shutdown via the start menu), will the capacitor cause the computer start right up again before you get a chance to shut off the main power? I initially thought this myself at first but I think that what happens is once the capacitor is fully charged, it always acts as an open circuit. It will not discharge until the mains power is cut off for a significant amount of time. |
