My first thought after seeing that is "What would a sudden loss of power do to my system?" then I took that thought and imagined it happening every time I wanted to use my computer. Then I thought the same thing batman said...
its teh devil! burn it! buuurn it!
It seems like a neat invention, but I shudder to think the havoc it could wreak on a system.

I think it is meant for consoles. Sudden power outtages are not good for PC's.

For some reason my PC stays on for 5 seconds even if you pull the plug.

You've got yourself a lot of juice in that nice PSU
Hard killing the PSU should shut it down immediatley, but just pulling the plug will cause it to keep using what it has stored up, I believe.

One of the top PSU companies offered one that would stay on for a short time after the shut down to help cool the system more and get all the hot air out
