Hello I need all your experts help on my problem. I'm inb a wheelchair and i'v created a cabinet that i can roll under to play the games. my problem s the computer is inside the cabinet and instead of havinbg to vcutt a door or something to have to turn the system on is there a way to somehow buy a button to attach via usb,ps2 whatever that i can run to my console to tun the computer on?  

or if not is there a way to make a toggloe switch on cabinet to turn a computer on and off like an original atrcade unit has?

There is a current discussion going on about exactly this.  Look about 10 posts down in the main forum.  It's called, "Getting PC to power up..."
