Its actually very easy.... All I did was get a standard normally open momentary switch from radio shack and lengthen the wires that go to the motherboard and attach it to the switch. Then mounted the switch under the fron edge of the cabinet in front. I had to drill a hole to get out of the cab though. Anyway... now all i have to do is hit the switch and the PC power up. I did the same for hardware reset too. works great.

I have a picture of it on my site under the power section.

: I know there are lots of helpful minds out there. I'm looking for a clever way to turn on a PC that's INSIDE a cabinet.

: I don't want players to have to open the coin door and reach in to power it up.

: I don't have the technical expertise needed to build the special circut (from PC2JAMMA) allowing the cabinet and PC to be turned on at the same time.

: What have some of you done?
