Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: MOTM

I am not thrilled about having the power supply cord coming out of the
front of my MOTM system. So I will probably mount the power supply in the
rear of a cabinet too. It would be neat if I could turn the system on from
the front of the cabinet, however. How about a little 1U module with some
power switches (lit) that can be put in series with the power switch on the
power supply. Then the rear switch can be left thrown on and the front
panel will control power ON and OFF. There could be more than one switch
for powering multiple power supplies for those really big systems.

Silly idea: it would be cool if the power supply module could be redone
with the plug coming from the back. Then there could be several LED's that
would show current being drawn by various modules. They would glow dimly
or brightly depending on current drawn. Totally useless, but fascinating
to watch. Ha!
