Noted.....I guess I had browsed a few other startups and they were stepping on the minute mark. I got so into it with the ideas, next thing I knew I surpassed it. I might cut it down to just the last part, and cut out the beginning for everyday use. This one is for one of those 1st time seeing it super shows ;D
Pretty good for my first one though, I'm still getting used to all these authenticity arcade spce #'s :dizzy:
Thanks for the input.
FYI, Picked up more goodies today, I got my led fans, woohoo. Will be testing this weekend for mounting ideas and noise levels....

Sorry I'm off topic here but I wanted to congratulate your use of Gandalf's death scene music from the Fellowship of the Ring.
Beautiful :'(

Today I received a contraption that supposed would be able to power up and power down my computer via a remote transmitter, as skeptical as I was the darn thing works. I can now power up and safely power down my PC from 30 ft away.......woohooooo
Kick ass idea #1 is now crushed.............. 8)

In case anyone wated to know.
The easiest way to get this done is with a Logisys Wireless Remote 16506 MultiFunction Panel -5.25"
They only come in silver, I couldnt find a black one.
They are hard to find as logisys no longer makes them. They are about $45.00, I got lucky a site called XOXIDE.com went out of business recently and i got it for $22.00 online.
It's a bay that can be installed like a dvd drive etc. Wiring it to your mother board is easy if your computer saavy.
Install the bay and follow the wiring instructions and make sure you have an extra slot space in the back of your PC, you wont need the pin slots just a space, as you have to install an antenna, sort of like a wireless internet card.
The bay has USB and firewall inputs and it can also control fan speed and monitor CPU temps with bright blue analog readouts.
Once installed, just click the key ring transmitter and it fires up the PC, click it again and it does a safe power down, not the immediate shutdown that screws up your PC.
You can also wire to reset if your pc has this feature.
One warning though, the adaptor that it comes with is a 20 to 24 pin adaptor that goes in between your power supply and your motherboard. If your power supply is a 24 pin you will with need to do some rewiring.

Another route, which i am considering is this.....
http://www.digitalconnection.com/products/remote/imon_inside.asp
This little device would mount nicely in an admin panel, and it has volume control, and other cool function. So this thing will take care of power off/on, and volume.
I will probably get one just to test it out, no to expensive, they have a few other models on the site, so pick one that suits your needs.
Hope this helps,
