(1/4) > >>
hulkster:
alright, ive wired the pc to a red pushbutton and it works and everything.  but now im trying to figure out a good place to mount this baby.   i have a showcase style cab if you didnt know, and i want to put this button so thats its easy to access....but not too easy...and i dont want it to be an eyesore.  any recommendations as to where i should mount it??  options are so far:

-under the control panel
-on top of the monitor section
-on the side of the monitor base section
-on the back of the monitor base section

any suggestions?

heres the link to my cab pics http://www.arcadecontrols.org/yabbse/index.php?board=10;action=display;threadid=16166

Back of monitor base
hulkster:
only thing is....the back of the monitor base is the removable door so i can get to the pc.  i guess if i made the wire long enough though it wouldnt be a problem...whenever i had to open the door, the wire would be long enough so that the button wouldnt be pulled or anything.  you think that would be safe?

I would put it on the very top of the cabinet.  That way, unless you're really short, you can reach it easily but it's not seen.  Plus that's one logical place most people would search for it.

I'd put it on the back of the pedastal. That way it would be hidden and still easily accessible, and you could fire everything up from the control panel area rather than going over to the cabinet to do so.
