--- Quote from: More Cowbell on March 24, 2007, 08:41:04 pm ---$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. --- End quote --- I hope you're not turning off your PC by flipping the power on your power strip. I like my BitSmart strip, it does just what I need it to. I don't consider it expensive, but I don't have a "use what was lying around" cab, so the money wasn't an issue for me. If you're on a budget maybe it's too much. |

I hope they are still good...just ordered one today. Thirty bills may seem expensive, but you must consider that you are getting a surge suppressor also. Most of the $1.99 strips offer no protection other than a circuit breaker. Checking in the stores, you will find that a comparable surge strip cost about the same as the Smart Strip. Xam |

I have had my SmartStrip for two years now in a muggy Florida garage. No problems whatsoever, nor has my PC had problems. I don't run it all the time, so I suspect that the SmartStrip will last a while as I only play my arcade every so often, but it is handling well. |

I have this one... I was supposed to use this on for my pc, but atm using it for my tv... I guess it's the same as a SmartStrip. When the master goes off the rest will also turn off. Got it for uhh... 8 euro I think (about $10?) I'll be using it when I start my cab :) |
