here is the best setup using a SPDT switch

in 1) the power is switched according to the IGN line (and so startup/shutdown controller)
in 2) the PC will always remain off, even if you move your key to IGN position
in 3) the PC will remain always on, even if you pull your keys out, as the IGN is simulated by a +12V line.

hope this helps
