Help finding cool buttons and switches.
paigeoliver:
If you just don't want the toddler turning on the cabinet than wire up the two power buttons in series so they both have to be pressed at once, and situate them far enough apart where that won't happen.

Oh now we're talking!
Thought about this on the way home.
Since I need at least 4 power buttons.
A keyed lock box instead of a switch lock with a door and something like this on the inside with all the buttons.
Love the break glass box
and that carbon fiber toggle is just killer but for this cab I need something a little more industrial looking, think yellow and black hazard stripes.
This forum is the best!
Thanks for all the great ideas!
Don't stop, we'll be able to launch this thing to the moon if we keep up with all these ideas. Hahaha.
Thanks again.

Or put the power switch on top of the cabinet, where it won't get hit accidentally by ANYBODY.

that button box is pretty sick. :) as is the break-glass one.

Autozone, Pep Boys, any other auto parts store.. They got plenty of crazy panel switches. Also a marine (boats) store would have some funky marine switches for boat panels..
Any one of the bajillion of PC mod sites out there will have a flip-up switch for you. A good option might be a "tamper proof" momentary pushbutton, that mounts flush with the panel, and cant be pressed unless you really mean to..
Another idea I've seen is a magnetic reed switch inside the cab (get em at radio shack), and have a magnet nearby (maybe tethered to a little chain). Wave the magnet near where the switch is to make a momentary contact and turn it on.. Good way to "stealth" your power button..
Or, more arcade-authentic.. A big ole toggle switch on the top rear of the cab..
