Color of on/off button?
ratzz:
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 ;)
ratzz ... :angel: :cheers:

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.
