I dunno about the shouldnt have to bit. An ATX always has a +5v rail
active on the board somewhere, it's entirely possible that some of that
finds its way to things like ram and cpu while the machine is "off".
I usually just pop the ATX connector off the motherboard and all is
sweet. The best way to do what you want to achieve is just pull the
mains while the machine is running. It will knock the psu flat in seconds.
