Well, if you found reviews that indicated it does thats a step in the right direction. Yes, please do post the results......I don't have a need at the moment but I'd sure like to learn that such a beast exists after all the searching I did trying to find one many moons ago. My plan was likely similar to yours.....hook a power strip to that extra outlet and away you go. |

OK people, I got it in the mail today and I can confirm that the accessory AC outlet on the Vantec ION DOES indeed switch on and off with the PC. ...and there was much rejoicing... *happy dance* This is THE solution for those who truly want the easiest cabinet power solution possible. |

You might want to check how much power that switched outlet can HANDLE. I know on the back of my home theater receiver, I couldn't hook up my subwoofer to one of the switched outlets because of the power restrictions listed on the outlet.... |

William, There is no viable limit, short of common sense. Don't try running a microwave or clothes dryer off the outlet. A monitor, television, VCR, light, fan, or any combination is fine. Most people connect a power strip to power their monitor, printer, and other peripherals tied to the computer.

Hrm... I wonder what they would think of using it for a projection monitor. |
