X10 is the only answer here. Remote control power up? How about motion sensing. Now you're talking pimped out! And X10 stuff is actually rated to handle the power levels you're talking about (of course you have to shop around to find the right ones). But you can go to Lowes and get the motion sensors for like $20 or so.

: I was putting up the old christmas lights again and picked up one of those nifty little things for outdoor lights that let you activate them via remote control. So I was thinking... How cool would it be to take the powerstrip for your cab and hook it into one of these. Click a button on your key-ring and your aracde machine starts up. Talk about a good way to impress the chicks.

: They're only like 10 bucks, I'm gonna pick an extra one up and give it a try.
