What's this I hear about BIOS, a SmartStrip and the "one button power on"???
Brax:
Definitely not MY page but I followed it along verbatim and it worked flawlessly. I agree with using a relay to control everything though.
I love that I made it. It's one of the things I'm most proud of regarding my cabinet - even though it's behind the scenes. Only the true nerds Ooo and Ahh. and then we have another convert.

Will this setup work for one button power on and off? I don't have a marquee (it's a cocktail) and I think this is everything that's going in there...
Any thoughts/corrections would be great!

So is this the right setup?
Brax:
It is as long as your bios supports some sort of 'power-up from any key' or some such. Otherwise you'll want to wire up a button through your computers power button. All the rest looks fine though. It's pretty straight forward.

I agree, the power button doesn't need to go through the IPAC. Almost all motherboards have a soft on/off power button that is on a couple pins. Just wire these pins up to a button and you will be all set!

I connected the power button of my computer to a pushbutton today so i could power it outside of the cabinet. it was all working fine and then my computer made a loud bang and now i no longer get any power at all to the computer. What went wrong and can it be fixed??
