Put one in your wallet and the cab only turns on when you're close by.

I'm only semi serious, of course

You need a momentary key switch. Wire it to the power pins on your motherboard. Have a smart strip turn on any accessories you might have that are not USB powered.

Turn key for a split second and everything turns on. Tada!

Must.  Put.  Down.  Wallet.

Install a zapper and wire it up to the button.  When the little tike presses it, it won't press it again.

We all learn from our mistakes.  >:D


No I don't have any kids..

Put. Down. Wallet.

You want a momentary switch, not an on/off switch. An on/off switch would be used possibly in conjunction with a relay to turn on or off power to a power supply and arcade board that would not care if you kill power instantly. A personal computer might not like you killing power. That is why they have a soft power shutdown mode. There is two pins that need to make contact on the motherboard to trigger this action of start up or shut down. Hence the momentary switch. You only need contact for a split second to start up. Contact again for a split second to trigger another action such as shut down.
