: : I also cracked open a power strip and wired a switch into it and ran it out of the cabinet, so I can turn it all on with the one external switch.
: Can you really turn it all on. Did you wire a relay switch for the copmuter? Computers aren;'t on/off switches anymore, they are pushbutton push-on push-off.
: If you cut the power to the power supply that will cut the power to the computer. Turn the power switch back on won't turn the computer on (that's why you don't see those master switch boxes for computers anymore).
: Wow, I progressed with my cabinet about as much. It's all primed. Will be painted this week. While waiting for primer to dry I prepared alot of the wiring. I wired the IPAC to a 25 pin connector. Started to cut the wires for the buttons and joysticks.
: BTW, what viewsonic is that? How big?
Most of the new motherboards have keyboard on or something like that. Worse case scenario, I open the door and push a button. Besides, how much do you think it will be OFF? :)
It is a 19" Viewsonic. I think a V90, but I don't remember.
