      I don't really plan on doing turning it on/off all that much. It was more for convenience.  I think I need to re-evaluate :P the on/off switch thingy.

      However, I would still like to mount the dc barrel to the back of the unit where the old plug was; unless you advise against it for safety reasons.  Was thinking of plexi-glass with a hole, but I could be swayed to just leave the adapter cord running through the opening and keep it protected like it is now.

        Plexiglass with a hole would be nice. Almost anything with a hole (aluminium, plastic, card even) would be fine. I take it you don't want to drill a hole in the case? My PSU is hardwired which is not a nice solution but it gets disconnected so infrequently it's not an issue.

          I could drill a new hole, but I would rather just fill up on of the existing ones - but thanks for the thoughts.
