Hi, Anyone know how to do this ? I'd like to be able to power on the PC in the cab from a button (cherry switch) rather than from the PC hold up in the cab. Can I use the normal wires I use from the buttons to the iPac ? Cheers, Brian. |

You may want to consider not having it on the front of your cab. |

Thanks. Oh yeah. That was a bit stupid about the iPac connection. oooops. Yeah. Side/top of cab might be safer. So if I have a happs arcade button I just wire from the happs button to the two pins on the motherboard that control the power? Cheers. |
