How do I get my cabinet to turn on?
Useless Eater:
I plugged everything inside my cab into a surge protector power strip and put a toggle switch on back of cab between that and the male end and in bios set the computer to boot on power restore, flip the toggle everything comes on, shutdown as you normally would then turn toggle off
Well Fed Games:
Nothing to add, except that running the PC power switch to the top of the cab, and plugging everything into a "smart strip" worked very well for me, too.
apfelanni:
- pc power on via external pushbutton ( rearside of the cab or admin panel )
- bios setting " power on after ac loss "
- some people use a cap between the 2 power pins on the mainboard to auto power on the pc , shutdown via frontend
i prefer option 2 , because most modern mainboards offer this option.

Following along the lines of this thread. Anybody know how to find motherboard header connectors from Mouser.com? Ive searched there for hours and came up with nothing. Yes yes, I know I can get them out of old PC cases, but I don't have any I'm willing to wreck at the moment.
