I'm curious.  What function is hooked up to your hacked coin reject switch?

Thanks,

Who is McGuyver? Maybe an ugly hybrid between Guyver (the bio boosted armor) and MacGyver, who has the power to assemble strange animals from scavenged organic parts? (sorry for the joke but I could not resist)

Seriously may ask  if wiring the coin door is what you really need? you can just power the PC from the main switch and shut it off from the frontend.

Well, I'm using a smartstrip surge protector, and think it would be cool to just hit the coin return button to turn everything on. I've also thought of making it so that when a coin is put in, that trips the microswitch and turn everything on. *shrug* I guess I just think it would be cool.

I do have one additional question however, when I wire up the 12v lamps, does it matter what side is ground and which is 12v on the two small connectors that are on the light?

The standard incandescent lamps will light up either way, unlike LEDs.
