Power panel Idea

2001-04-18 by revtor@aol.com

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!!!
