I am aware of this setup but I could never find a good video which shows a good theme. Also, how do you shut this off and turn it on cleanly? I would like the arcade switch on/off option rather then a Hyperspin type shut down. Interested for sure.
Not sure what "hyperspin type shutdown" mean but any PC system can easily install 1 button start up/shutdown for entire cab.
-120v Power cord @ wall to 12v relay
-power in side of relay splits to PC 120v in so always power
-NO side of relay connects to power bar
-12v coil connects to any 12v rail on PC
-Then cab plugs into power bar
-Extend PC power switch to anywhere convenient
That way you hit PC power on, relay turns power to rest of cab. You hit PC power again, it proper shut downs, then relay let's loose and cab turns off. Very easy to do, I can make pics if someone needs it.
I would be interested in pictures for future reference if you wanted to take the time to do this......
