I can get the power up to work, but when I shut down the computer, unless I physically turn off the computer power supply the other outlets stay hot. Is it something with maybe the ATX motherboard still drawing enough current when shut down to think that the computer is on? There's an adjustment that will effect both power up and power down.

I am using one of these Belkin Smart Power Strip and it works like a champ. It sounds like you have some draw coming from the motherboard.
BLah247:
Thanks. I'll tweak more with the dial setting on the strip. Next step would be to figure out why the motherboard is still drawing power when it's off. Might be a Bios setting or something like that.

Check BIOS for "wake on LAN" or "wake on keyboard" settings.
Also, are you doing a full shut down, or just going into sleep mode?

BLah247:
Was doing a full shut down. I finally got it to work after rebooting about 7 times. It takes very nominal adjustments. I'm probably going to extend the CPU power on switch to another push button switch I bought a while ago.
Anyhow finished it up and am overall happy with the results. Here's the final cleaned up and fixed cabinet.
Not completely sold on the LED lights or the LCD but we'll see after I get some stick time on it.
