Ok, then I’m on the same page :P
I did a similar thing on my MAME cabinet, but cut the plug on the powerstrip and soldered it directly on the panel connector.
Didn’t put any fuse on it but used a lot of hot glue for isolation.
Here’s a picture, but the powerstrip is just above…

Nice!!!!
I like the way you mounted your computer!!!
I mounted mine, the same way you did (but on the other side :) )
The black box on the right looks like a power amp. Do you have glued it to the bottom?
PS. I used the same IEC Power Jack for my cab

Thanks
It is actually a subwoofer with a built in amplifier (standard 2.1 pc speaker system). I tossed away the satellites and use the amplifier to power two car speakers. And there is an opening at the front of the cabinet for the subwoofer vent.
I used two L-brackets to secure the box in the cabinet.

Do you have a picture of the machine?

Yes, I realize I spelled 'extension' wrong, it's been a long day :P

I love this idea and I think i might take this direction than trying to open up my PSU and monitor. I have one question though, why settle for a powerstrip in this example. For my bartop, I'm just trying to power my monitor and PSU so I would only need two outlets. Do you think it would be an issue if I were to wire the male end of an IEC Y-cable like this

instead of using a power strip?

My experience about Y power cords is that they were purposefully designed for servers. Can they work for what you are describing? Their rating certainly leads one to believe they could but I would make sure you don't have any feedback from the monitor. That could make a cheaper PSU quite angry.
