Can someone direct me to a GOOD power strip...  I am looking to do the following...

First I want an authentic flip switch on the top...  How would one accomplish this...

Also...  I guess I want the marquee light, speakers, subs...if powered....and everything else to come one when  i boot the computer...etc...  ideas...?

Thanx

Have you tried the Bits Limited strip?

I have it and it works great.

Got the strip....Found something similar at Staples...

So...anyone got any idea on how I would wire a switch on the side or top...

Thanx all

I cut off the end of my bitsmart and wired it to a switch and a receptacle.

Since you aren't doing a receptacle then all you need to do is rewire the switch that's built into the power strip. Take it apart and look at how it's wired. Get some similarly gauged wire and extend the existing wire to where ever you want your switch to be.

Great....So after I do that, I would plug my computer into the MAIN and everything else into the other outlets which get turned on when the computer boots....  Will the computer turn ON when I switch the power strip on....Do I have to do anything to the computer to make it do that...I forgot...thanx
