OK, I see the issue. This case comes with a cable that connects
between the main 24 wire power cable and the power socket on the
motherboard. That cable has the power wires for the LCD spliced into
it. The LCD is hooked up to the continuous power line, so it's powered
up even when the system is turned off. I think that's so you can power
up the system using the remote.

Since I (for the most part) won't be using the included remote, and
the sensor doesn't appear to be programmable so that it can wake up
using a 3rd party remote, this functionality is pretty useless for me.
I might investigate rewiring it so that its not powered all the time.
