Where should I put the power button on my cab?

I'm also worried about her hitting the joystick or a button on the long CP while I'm in the middle of playing on the end and ruining my game but that's another set of isses.
Inside the coin door is an excellent idea - I'll look into the logistics of that tonight. It will actually save me from having to drill another hole in the thing.... hmm...

You should be able to just get an L-bracket and screw it into the inside of the cab, just inside the coin door.

If everyone could draw like I could, then I'd have to go out and find a real job! :dizzy:

I put mine on the very top of the cabinet just out of hands reach. Im tall and can hit it easily and I wired a very small button up there. Kids will never reach it and adults cant accidentally hit it.
TOK:
I'd put it on outside bottom of CP which faces the coin door. Can just be a little button and you can rear mount it so it's flush with bottom of panel.

i put mine on top of the cabinet near the rear (cause there was already a hole there for one when i got the cabinet), it works really well. on a coctail cabinet, thats not an option, inside the coin door is good, but i have to say i like the bottom of the control panel idea, out of the way...hard to accidentally hit, but easy to get to.

You can just set it to shut down the computer, which is the equivalent of Start -> Shut Down - > Off and it automatically closes all programs before shutting down (including the front end). I have my machine do this and it great because its one button to power everything on and off.
