Something new as a powerswitch for your cab.

Yea, I guess I forgot about nieces and nephews as well.

This is exactly what I did with mine.

My cabinet is powered on by a button and it works well. My kids know which one to hit to power it on.
I also have one setup to shut everything down. The only problem with that is my 3 year old daughter hits that button when she is done regardless of anyone else...which drives my 6 year old son absolutely crazy.
I may change it later but it seems fine for now.

I've got my cab setup to where when the power cord is plugged into the wall, it turns on the monitor and speakers automatically. Then, just inside the coin door, I ran the power button for the PC. This setup will change in a few weeks when my BITS Limited Smart Strip arrives. Once I get that hooked up, I'll be able to leave the power cord plugged in all the time without the monitor and speakers powered on, and control everything using the PC power button.

My Pac-Mame(TM) is set so as soon as I turn on all of the games by switch, the computer starts automatically
