No power button, click on shut down and let it do it's thing. When it shuts down the magic strip kills power to the peripherals.

So, lemme get this right. You click "Shutdown", your PC shuts down Windows and turns off the PC, which also shuts off your peripherals, which seem to be electrically powered, not PC powered. I've never seen a power strip that does that. The only way to turn off all my peripherals at once is to press the master switch on my power center, except for my desktop speakers, which are fully PC powered.

You are correct, this one came from Staples, but I understand there are others out these. It's a wonderful convenience.
I also bought a bunch of 8" long extension cords so all those funny shaped voltage converters and shit could plug into one strip.

Just saw one in Walmart on clearance sale for $34.
