Rather than put a mini pc on the moving side of my AP 1600. I mount a Startech 7-port industrial USB and a Rig Runner power distribution and run two cables through the mount. I house an industrial mini PC and two power supplies, one for the mount and one for the accessories, in a waterproof cabinet. I use Belkin Wemo wireless switched outlets to turn power on and off. I run the mini PC headless from my office using Windows Remote Desktop.
