<< < (4/5) > >>

I don't want to sound controvesial, but seriosly, what is the point of this? I mean having a light when its off seems pointless.

And we are being advised to switch all things off when not in use.

Please don't think I'm preaching, but it does seem a little pointless. It almost seems like you're doing it just becase you can ...

err ... green on ... red off ;)

The machine off light is there to show you what to hit to power it on.  This cab might be in a poorly lit area and locating the power button could be a pain, especially for any visitors.  It will also act like a flame for a moth, drawing people in to play games.

Also, he is doing it just because, same reason I give people when they ask me why I built a cab in the first place.  They think playing those games on your computer is good enough.

For goodness sakes, no no and no. I had an emachines computer on which the pc and the monitor led's pulsed when off or in standy by mode. It was annoying as hell. I ended up taping off both lights just so I could sleep at night.

I vote for no light whatsoever on the power button.

Depends on where the cab is, I guess.  I wouldn't want a light if it were in my bedroom ore even living room.  My games are in a dedicated game room, so the light wouldn't ever bug me.

He can't switch something on when its dark? Poorly lit area? Locating the power botton could be a pain (especially for any visitors)?
