ChadTower:
Well, you could do it, but I meant mostly grammar, and here specifically shorthair's spiffalicious wordification tendencetas.
JoyMonkey:
I reworked the Power Options article. Pulling the plug without shutting down the computer properly is what most people are worried about, so it probably deserves at least a mention.
I thought this would already have been covered in the Wiki someplace :dunno
shorthair:
Yeah, good additions/corrections, particularly the images (which I thought about but don't know how to do that). The only thing that was taken out that I think is important is the powering-up part - how it might need to be hacked, whether it can operate like a Smartstrip, etc.

Yeah, that's good... the UPS option, it may be worth mentioning, does limit the OS possibilities down to which ones your given UPS will support. They require OS drivers to perform the gracious shut down. They're also not really designed to do that on a regular basis and it could really shorten the battery life of a lower end UPS (the type we'd use in a cab).
Kaytrim:
Here is a link to a site with information on how to make your own smart strip type of power source. http://home.bendcable.com/werstlein/ I used this basic information and info from another site http://spystyle.arcadecontrols.com/01/index81.htm to build my own. Works perfectly. 8)
