Hi All,
I am looking at getting myself a Smart Plug which I will connect my main PC to, however I was concerned about using the on/off features of the Smart Plug with a PC and any impact that could have (not shutting down correctly etc)
The reason is I wanted an easy solution to being able to turn my pc on or off when I was in or away from the home as I also use this as a Plex media server. This was because I was not particularly happy with having my main rig running 24/7.
I have contemplated buying/building a low power HTPC for my lounge that will be better in the long run than using my main PC, however as I am getting married next year - all spending is on hold .
Many thanks in advance.
