Mainly habitual reasons: some time ago a lightning fried my PC -everything- and in the neighbor many other things. I didn't have surge protection but now I do, though I feel more comfortable to keep all my "precious" electronics powered off from a manual switch when not used. I'm living in a rented wooden house with lot of wood furniture and flammable things around, even though I think all my DIY stuff are safe I wouldn't bet my life on it.
Call me paranoiac but these are important for me. I'm using the wand carrier board and did not plan to use the CSP1 since I have my own external DAC. If the PWR_BUTN signal is not used on the carrier board then I can forgot about it - I might hack a small script that monitors one of the GPIO pins.
