So do you guys still like your smart strips?  I am looking at getting a LCG3 or LCG4.

emerica:

I always liked the idea of the bits limited power strip but never wanted to shell out the money for one. Instead I ended up going with the spystyle power strip and it works just as good. I think there is a tutorial somewhere on this forum but I am unable to find it at the moment.

am_monkee:

yes. it's convenient for me to have 1 button that turns on the speakers, pc, monitor, etc. for 30 bucks, it's worth it to not have to open the cab every time i need to power up and it's a very simple solution.

TOK:

I have one, and it's been fine, but I found the one that Sears offers does the same thing and I don't have to order it.
Its in the tool department, made for powering on a lamp or other device when you fire up a power tool. Using one in my vert cab with no problems. Has less outlets than a Smart Strip, but I only need the PC, marquee light and monitor anyway.

$30? That seems steep for the one switch to rule them all. I just buy a regular old $1.99 power strip, open it up, remove the switch, wire in a new switchto wherever it is on the cab, and close it back up. Plug everything into it and use the cab switch to turn it on and off. Works like a charm, it's easy, and costs next to nothing.
