When you say switch to you mean an actual signle pole switch that some pc have at the back or do you mean the little electronic signal switch at the front.

you can get intelligent strip sockets, not sure of the exact name , you plug your PC into the "master socket" and when the strip detects power being used on it, it turns on the other sockets and turns them off when no power is used.

Good old AT PSU's with an outlet on the back - life was so much easier then
