what are YOU using to power your cab

I use an Xbox in mine, so the benefit of the smartstrip (which I use) is keeping the Xbox supplied with a constant flow of power, so that I don't have to reset the clock every time I boot it up.
Otherwise... I dunno. Can't imagine there really is much other benefit.

A one button power solution is what we are accustomed to. We use one button to power our electronics, why should a cab be any different?
Not to mention a series of button pushes makes it confusing for wives and children. Simply pushing one button to power everything on, then later the same button to power everything off makes it easy for them.
And it's easy to do, you could have your cab set up for one button power for $10 +2 hours.
In my opinion the one button power solution is a very nice finishing touch.
That was a huge selling point on the last cab I sold (the guy had a wife and a little child)

Does it matter if the clock is wrong? I read that when modding it is a good idea to keep the clock correct, but personally I don't want to supply power to mine constantly.

But my cab has one button to power on, aside from actually plugging it in. So I presume you leave yours plugged in all the time, but that seems a pretty obvious thing to me (not like having to turn on several things I mean).
