    What peripherals do you have hooked up? My APC UPS will wake up my desktop whenever the power flickers.

    It's only when you look at an ant through a magnifying glass on a sunny day that you realise how often they burst into flames.

    My next guess would be Wake-on-LAN. Next time you shut down, pull the ethernet cable and see if the wakeup issue goes away.

    If it doesn't, you may be looking at a flakey switch on the case or powersupply.
