I forget what it's called now, but if you browse the board you'll find one. I think they're called smartstrips or something. You plug your tv,lights,etc,etc into the powerbar and when one thing turns on then everything else automatically turns on as well. |

It depends on how you wire the switch, that decides if it is open/closed/mom etc. The switch itself is wired to the powerbutton on the PC. So you push it instead of the powerbutton on the PC. If you browse around the board a bit you'll find more info on EXACTLY how to do it :) |

Sears : http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00924031000P This is what I use on my MAME cab, I turn on the PC, it then turns on the marquee lights, and monitor. It can be purchased locally or online and is only 19.99 |

I was just wondering how you wired it directly to the PC power supply to turn it on as you mentioned earlier... --- Quote from: tomdotcom on October 19, 2008, 08:02:16 pm ---Yep I just installed an arcade button on top of the cab (momentary) and then wired it to the PC power supply, couple that with one of those auto power on power bars that turns everything else on and you have one button power on! --- End quote --- Or did you mean you wired it to the PC Power on Button? |

Thanks guys!! :w00t I may have to rewire my cab and install this. Right now I have two switches. One is the main power switch the other is the momentary switch. Turning on the cab is ok,but powering down I have to wait for the computer to shut down. |
