Does anyone make a relatively low cost device that can be used to power off systems using an IR remote? I have seen devices like the Monster and Tripp Lite, but they are very expensive. I live in an area that is not subject to power surges nor brown-outs so its hard to make a case for anything except a very basic surge protecter.

I would use a trigger type device outside of my SMS-1 none of my equipment has a trigger switch.

I know that x10 equipment might work but am not familar with x10 equipment and have no idea as to how appropriate that might be in an HT or audio circuit.
