I don't see a point to power switches on equipment.  I tend to power up via a 
power strip or other distribution point.  Personally I wouldn't want to 
sacrifice panel space for a switch.  I'm mounting my voltage rail LED 
indicators on a rack ear.

These are really popular because they are VERY inexpensive (check out Radio 
Shack online - best price I've seen) and they do the job.  I don't use one 
for my MOTM, but I do have one for other equipment.

Paul - On the PSU discussion, does CE approval mean anything to you for 
European customers?  Some of the comments such as a remote power switch and 
different connectors would be a problem with approval.
