Title: Monitor - Power on/off
Post by: Carlito on July 22, 2007, 01:13:24 am

Quick question.  When building a jukebox or arcade console, how do you guys power on/off the monitor?
If you're just using a regular computer monitor how do you hook it up so it automatically powers up when you turn the machine on?  I'm assuming you don't need to manually hit the power button everytime.
Thanks guys, just trying to figure out this stuff.  :)

Use a Power Strip.
