    Not to be stupid or anything but what would these switches be used for exactly that they would be involved with the setup?

    For switching off pumps and stuff, I always have to go under my stand to unplug my skimmer, so it will make it a little easier

    So how would you wire this up with the plug ins? Or is there plugs in the back so there is no third party wiring..?

    There are plugs in the back of the unit, I kinda would like to wire it myself, B/C then I could put the outlets anywhere, but outlets on the back will save me plenty of time.

    This sounds like I'm going to get into something like this very soon... Thanks for the over sight of this equipment. :)

    I have seen those on a few nice builds, you can mount them under the surface, so no screws show, and it looks super slick

    With a lot of luck I caught my company throwing away some rack equipment for an upgrade they were doing, so I grabbed it all up. Powder coated, and holes every inch, it's going to hold my new switch unit perfectly. It looks clean.
