smart power strip
Newsome:
I'm using the Bits Ltd Smart Strip also and I would highly recommend it... The cab is running Windows XP and the Power Settings are set to hibernate - so when the PC shuts down the TV and lights shut off as well. When you want to play a game ANY button press will wake the PC... this is an easy solution for those that don't want to wire an external power button.

After trying a bunch of different methods, I ended up settling on a Vantec VAN-400B ION 400W Power Supply that features a switched AC outlet on the back.
