Turning on a PC with remote control socket switch

This shit is the ultimate sub £10 pimp up for ur PC. I kinda thought would be good way to save some dosh on wasted stand-by electricity, but then I found out there some setting in BIOS where you can make a PC turn on when power comes on. Now thats some random awesomness right there.

I got this wireless keyboard & mouse with which I shut it down.

What to buy

Maplins had some bitchin deal on these, I bought 3, for these purposes:

  • 1st for the internet box (router, modem, etc)
  • 2nd for the monitor – how much power do these waste when youre just listening to music or can’t get of your arse to turn em off for whatever other reason
  • 3rd to shut everything else off – PC, Sound Amp, Projector – etc (you can hook one up to a 3 way plug for example)
