I few years ago I was on the hunt to find a devise that could toggle the
power to my media PC and I came upon this gizmo (
http://simerec.com/PCS-1a.html) It works well to power on/off a pc via IR.

At the time I was only using IR to control the pc,  But now I switched to
BT via my Harmony hub. You can still set a IR code via Harmony to pc wile
using BT. it all works very well.

The only drawback is the gizmo is meant for a DIY media PC and not really a
easy way to integrate in to book sized media PC's.

Just one idea.
