We have a computer set up for limited public use; often we have dumba**es that try to download/look at p0rn or play games incessantly at high volume.
So, to solve this, we have these remote switches - in our case, you plug your monitor into this device, which you plug into power. Then there is a remote with a on/off button on it.
Now, when a teenager wants to hit up our computer for some free p0rn, we just hit the power button after a random amount of time, and then they think they broke it! You can even go running over there, claiming that all the computers are down, accusing them of breaking it, and the problem is solved.
Damn kids.
I used to work at Best Buy and we'd get kids playing with Rhapsody (the music software) usually playing some crap really loud. I'd just crawl under the display (they can't see the other side) and unplug the computer to get rid of them.
