I'm using that exact setup except I have an additional appliance module instead of using the transceiver for the cab. It is rated at 20A (maybe 15A) and has a three prrong plug for my cabinet.
I also put ARCMON.SYS in my config.sys just in case. That way the video is set correctly very early in the boot process.
Once in a while the cab will fail to turn on. A problem with X10 no doubt. It happens maybe 1 out of 50 times on. If it fails to turn on I switch the cab off then back on and the appliance module senses it and will flip on automatically.
If you can get the $6 price it's a great deal.
