An electrical power strip that can be used in conjunction with a computer so as to allow peripheral devices associated with the computer to be automatically turned on or off simultaneous with the computer being turned on or off. The power strip preferably includes a USB connector that allows the power strip to be connected to the power source provided by the USB port of a computer. The power strip further includes a relay element that effectively energizes the power strip when the connected computer is turned on and de-energizes the power strip when the computer is turned off. Thus, the user can utilize the power strip to ensure that any peripheral devices plugged into the power strip are automatically turned off when the connected computer is turned off and turned on when the computer is turned on.
