Pc power up question

[Gary]

Hi guys!

If I'm installing my pc components without a case, how do I make it so that it all powers up from a single plug (the cabs plug). Or..., if I have to have a second plug for the PC, as it will be "open" with no case, how do I bypass the need for a power switch?

Cheers in adv

I think this is what you are after.

Get a "Master / Slave Socket". Cheapest one around £12 om ebay.

Plug the PC into Master, others (monitor, amplifier, lights) into slaves.

Switch on the PC via momentary switch on cabinet. The master is getting juice so the slaves kick into action 5 seconds later.

Make sense? PM if you need more info.

Set the PC bios to auto power on after power loss, then just wire it to the rear switch the rest of the machine internals connect to!

Cheers guys.

I think zedEx's is the solution I was looking for. I'll give this a go.

Thanks!
