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.

I have a Smart Strip but I saw a similar product at Wal*Mart the other night. It was with the power strips and had something like 'saves power by automatically turning off accessories' or something like that. It was around $20 also.

I'll have to check that out when I get the chance. $20 at Wal-Mart sure beats $40 over the internet.
Doctor Ugs:
I stay away from walmart merchandise.
Everything I've ever bought there has broken. And not just electrical equipment, I'm talking nuts and bolts as well.
there's a reason why everything is low cost in a walmart....
Timstuff:
Maybe I will stick with the smart strip then. Better to spend $40 the first time than $60 in the long run...
Doctor Ugs:
Revised version of my cp....
that is all.....
