Power cord socket solution?

If you want to, I think you can get power strips where turning your PC on/off turns the strip on/off, so you only need one button.

Hmm - not really sure where that comes from or goes, but I will say that you are correct.

It's when you don't have easy access behind a piece of equipment and it's not always feasible to pull it out. A master switch there is easier to reach around and feel for. If you pull the power cable from there (not from the wall) it's much harder to plug it in, especially if there's an orientation to the cable or other recepters there.

TopJimmyCooks:
Oh, ok.  The term reacharound could be construed to mean something entirely different than what you meant.  If you want a switch on the back, do it.  I bet you're going to have to pull it out from the wall to service it anyway.  I wouldn't spend extra to do it.  Hell, what if you leave it off by accident, you've got a reacharound to get it back hot.  Now, if the cab line cord was hard connected, I would say it was basically required to have the switch.

I don't see whats over complicated about having a main cabinet shut off.
