using the powerbar switch to turn on/off games - good or bad?
I'm going to be moving my games around the basement; 3 of my cabs have a typical powerswitch on top of the cab, but the Neogeo and the SuperChase cabs dont have any power switch. At first I paired both of them together to a single powerbar, and I would use the switch on the bar to switch them on and off.
Now, i'm going to move my mk, ki and those two all together against the same wall, connected to the same powerbar. The power switch on top of the MK and KI cabs are going to be hard to reach without using a chair.
Would it be dangerous, or bad for the power supply to simply turn the powerswitches to the 'ON' position and control the current at the powerbar level? This way I could switch on all 4 machines at once?
