Check out this PC power supply

I'm sure it does a very good job for what it does, but you have to ask yourself if turning on everything at once is worth $82 before tax.
That seems like a LOT of money. In perspective, that's more than my cabinet cost me. That's more than some people pay for a monitor.
I'd rather save the money and flip a couple switches. With a lil rewiring and hacking you could probably do the same thing for $5 or $10. Personally, I don't mind flipping 2 swicthes instead of 1.

Guys I just wanted to add something about the price of these... was that link to the price in Australian dollars or US dollars.
The website is Australian based... therefore it makes me wonder if that price was in Australian dollars???
(If it is just halve the cost in Australian dollars to find the price in US dollars)
Cheers guys!

I am not sure if that is US dollars or not, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was. I think I paid $90 US for my power supply when I built my computer and it doesn't have those features.
Now, for my one switch solution, I only paid about $20 for the power strip from Sears and a couple dollars for the switch (you could just use a button from Happs too).

I do something like that with a circuit I designed that switches on all devices using the power led from the computer as a trigger.
It works well but it would be nice to just buy one.
