But right now, I can't justify that. My other frontend just died. I haven't found anything like say under 60. So I saw the MB that comes with the CPU pre sodered in for like $20. Figured power supply is $10, salvage heatsink/fan from old frontend, just got to figure out a way to power it on.</div>

</div></div>I believe you can set the bios of the Revo to power on when it gets<br>
plugged in. You can always use "poweroff" or "shutdown" commands to<br>
power it down. The OP asked if there is a way to enter shutdown by<br>
pulling the power chord. I am not sure how you would sustain power to<br>
the MB to gracefully power it down in that scenario.<br>
<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5">_______________________________________________<br></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Do you have one to verify this? And eh as a frontend on a USB stick, don't really care about shutting down gracefully TBH. Ty for your time/response.</div>
