    Actually this would be pretty simple to do, in principle.

    All you would really need is a momentary switch, or even a microswitch wired with NC.  I would jack that into the Power/Reset pin on the computer mobo (follow the pinout, should be labeled).  In windows choose an action you would like windows to perform when the power button is "pressed" (since it's NC it will "press" on open).  Than stick it on your chair, so when you sit down it powers on, and when you stand up it goes off, not a bad idea.

    The wiring might be backwards, but the idea is there.

    Thanks but if i wire it to the power switch then when i stand up it will turn the computer off after 5 secounds regardless of the settings, unless you know how to turn that off but i think its a hardwired function
