This is what I did (except that I already had the extra plug and didn't need to snip).
I also made sure to put a knot in the extension cord going out to act as strain relief.
Probably not a major issue unless, like me, you mess around in your cab often enough,
doing upgrades or repairs. (and heck I use mine for storage!)
You don't want to knock out this power switch by accident.
Mr Wilson:
just go into your bios settings and go to the power settings then change it to start pc when power is restored i'm using mala frontend so i press the quit button and it asks if i want to shut down then press the 1 player button to turn of pc with the pc plugged into a smartstrip it turns off monitor,marquee light and speakers when the pc turns off
then you just turn the socket on to start everything up
hope this helps ;D
