The perfect Arcade machine Motherboard??
hyiu:
I thought most newer mb will do this...
check in your bios.... (I believe this was mentioned before...)
when you boot your machine.... press F1 or del or whatever to go to the bios setup...
check the options.... (I think its "power"...)
then they have like boot machine by key press / mouse click / options...
also... reboot when power resume option....
stuffs like that.....
hope it helps... ;)

Turning off? Whats that? ;D
Im running 98, and I just flip the main switch. Its not like a typical environment where stuff is constantly being buffered to write to disk, all my configs are saved(and duplicated across the network in case of grave catastrophe) and dont change. When doing upgrades I'll shut it down properly and reboot to make sure settings get written correctly but normal use is
1. hit the main switch, watch the pretty lights
2. play
3. hit the main switch, watch the darkness

I wouldn't feel so comfortable with that option. Just me i guess.
I'd rather rig up a button config to go into shutdown and power off automatically

I have a Dell Optiplex Gx110 and when you hit the power button to turn it off, it shuts windows down for you. COOL! Now I just have to think through how to wire the PCB switch to the cabinet when I finish it......
Oh... BTW.... !!!! THANKS Birdtales for the Cabs and stuff....
Getting the paint off these things is killing my arm... LOL
HeadRusch:
I also have a....crap....it might be a supermicro....anyhow, whatever it is...same option.
Before I shut down the cab, I shut down windows.
Then I reach around and kill the power on the strip.
So long as you dont turn it on again immediately...give it a minute or two, when you go back and throw the switch on the powerstrip, everything boots up as normal.
