It's a smart control board that handles turning on the PC, and more importantly, turning it off safely -- with the pinball power switch. With this board, you can hook up the PC to the always on power from the utility outlet (using a standard adapter cord) and then just use the Pinball power switch to turn things on and off from then on. The board is smart enough to handle all kinds of situations, including flipping the power off and immediately back on before the computer even shuts down! No more worry about if killing the power to the computer will corrupt anything on the computer. It's fantastic!
