Local electronics store.

I'm definitely going to wire a button from the hole ontop of my cab to my PC's mobo though. I was originally planning to just open the coin door to hit my PC's power switch, but having a power button on the cab itself seems to make a heckuvalot more sense.

I originally bought a Bits Ltd Smart Strip via mail order.
If you have a Sears or Sears hardware near you, they have a triggered strip that is made to turn on a light or vacuum when you fire up a shop tool. I have two of them and they work great.
They're around 25 bucks. Its gray and square shaped.

My option was even simpler. I set the PC To power on as soon as it gets power, i think the bios option was something like power on after power loss. That way i just turn on at the wall and that powers everything up. I put a 4 way standard power stip inside the juke and just have 1 lead coming out. Depends if your bios supports that power on method though.
Your cabs are looking good anyway dude.

Yeah unfortunetly on the pc i'm using that option only works when there is an actual power loss and system was on.
Hence why I got a digital relay (for free)

How do you handle shutting it down? Are you just killing power without shutting down Windows?
