How to power the entire cabinet on..

Pages: (1/3) > >>

Skippydzg:

If your computer's BIOS does not have any way to power on by a single keystroke or double click or any such thing, what is the next best way to power on the entire cabinet with one swith, button, or key?

I've heard that you can wire the motherboard's power button on the computer to another button farther away...how would one go about doing this? I've also heard about power strips that automatically power everything on somehow? Just information or help would be appreciated!

Wire a small cap to the power on pins on your motherboard.

I'm using this and it works great, plus it saves you money by shutting off everything so no constant drain like you get when a plugged in TV is off.
