Well, this probably won't help you, but for those still trying to decide what hardware to buy...

Many new ATX motherboards support a "power-on from spacebar" feature, and fortunately, mame uses the spacebar (player 1, button three by default). Since I bet any of us with keyboard encoders or keyboard hacks, already have a button wired to be spacebar, all you gotta do is hit button three and the computer fires up.

You should check your motherboard's manual if you have an ATX board. Mine just required a single jumper to be switched to enable this feature.
