Check out this remote controlled electrical outlet.

Anyone use one of these in their cabinet?  I'm thinking I might give it a whirl for my upcoming bartop.  Requiring the remote to turn it on could be a double edged sword, though.  Nice to control access (especially for kids) but maybe not as convenient.  Heck, I could see using these to control access to my daughter's electronics arsenal.

Can't you just unplug it and plug your devices straight into the socket?

Pretty interesting idea for MAME cabs though.

Odd thing to have in the product desc.  I bought a couple of those as Xmas gifts this past year but have no idea how well they worked.

Yeah, to effectively control access, you'd have to build a little locked box so they couldn't remove the cab plug from the remote socket.

Looking around, I found them on geeks.com even cheaper at $15.99. Might be even cheaper elsewhere.

Who's the manufacturer? No site I found so far mentions the manufacturer and the strange advertising blurb makes me think these are cheap POS from China or something. caveat emptor.

If you wait around until holiday decorations are on retail shelves, you can get all sorts of outdoor grade remote control outlets for good prices.  Far far better than these.
