Hi!

Yep, we are a electronic business and that solution will keep corporate
identity within the system :-)

OK, I have to wait until we change to a more actual board that supports
power off by system (ATX-Standard). Its in the queue. Then I will
connect that relay to the USB supply or just the normal drive power
connector and that will do. The master-server will call the
shutdown-scripts on the secondary machines and wait for them to not
respond to something like a ping. After that he will power off himself
and take the supply away at the end.

Fine thing!
