I guess there is "idle" power that runs through your computer, even when it's turned off. This will shut that flow off and also take care of all your peripherals too

I would be more interested in this for my big screen. That thing is a beast and probably runs 75-80 watts when turned off.

what about all the stored stuff on your radio, TV, & cable box? i would think the memory would reset with out that dormant power.
