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.

He can't switch something on when its dark? Poorly lit area? Locating the power botton could be a pain (especially for any visitors)?
Sorry, but :laugh2:

All that and making stuff glow is fun. I didn't need an ledwiz, but I am glad I bought it.
Also, maybe he is afraid of the dark and wants a little night light on his cab.... :dunno

You hit the nail on the head with both comments. It will be in a dim area and I often have guests over that haven't played one of these in 15 years. I know where the switch is, but they don't. Many times I'm not even home to give directions. It needs to scream out, "press me to start". I'm doing all this lighting stuff just because I want to learn how. I could have bought an LEDWiz and recommend it for anyone that doesn't have the time or desire to do this kind of project themselves. For me, it is about learning new skills (you know, like numchuck skills and hacking skills), not necessarily the end product.
And about sounding controversial... No problem. Its all good.
