I'm gonna do something else for my HTPC. ButI have one more issue. I have a smart strip, with the computer in the main slot and the monitor in the switched spot.It turns off the monitor fine, but when you turn the pc back on it doesn't turn the monitor back on ( actually it's a 27 inch Sanyo LCD tv). I have to physically turn the switch on the monitor to get it to turn on. Do I need to hack the switch on the tv ( scary!) to get it to come off and on with the smart strip? I really want to have everything to turn on with one switch. Please help if you can.I'm ready to mount the monitor and I can't until I get this issue fixed.

Test the behavior of the TV by disconnecting the mains connector while it is on. If you reconnect it the TV should turn on again. If it doesn't it will not work in a smart strip setup.

the problem is if you turn it off and back on immediately it will come back on. If it sits for a while with the power off and you reconnect the power you have to turn the switch on to get it to come back on. I know it's weird.
