Plugged in isn't the same as live. You can leave the plug in - just flick the switch off. The only
slight danger is if the switch isn't a double pole switch, in which case neutral will still be "live" (i.e. connected). I just leave my PC plugged in and connect myself to the case with a wrist strap on a springy thing.
