Subject: Power panel Idea

From: revtor@...
Date: 2001-04-18

Here's a simple idea..

in the next custom panel run whenever that may be (or maybe Paul could put
these into production himself,) do a 1u panel with a punchout for the MOTM
spec power switch, a fuse holder and an LED. Maybe a cutout for the 110v
cord. This way we can all set up the power for our systems how we want
inside, but it would still be a uniform appearance, and match the MOTM spec.
And it would only be 1u. I'm sure many of us would grab one or two!

I'm not really a fan of power cords coming out of the fromt of my machine, so
this 1u power switch/led indicator/fuseholder would be a great (obvious)
compact solution. When my case gets built (soon) my power is coming in from
the rear and so are the power link cables for additional cabinets. I don't
want to accidentally grab a power cord... only patch cords out front!!!
