Depends on your country's wall outlet designs. In the US it would be pretty easy to partially remove the plug from the wall outlet, exposing the bare prongs without disconnecting them from the outlet.
Then you just supply A/C power of your own before unplugging fully from the wall outlet.

- everforward 4y agoI think it would better and much safer to change your PC so that it shuts off if the PC is moved. Offhand, you could probably wire a relay into the reset pins on your motherboard, and use an ESP32 to trigger the connection based on an accelerometer or pressure sensor on the bottom of the PC. I think there are some low-tech solutions that work as well, but I don't know them off-hand. If you wanted to go that route, you should check out the Harvey's Casino Bomb. That guy had layers upon layers of triggers that would probably work just as well for preventing tampering with a PC. That would keep the meddling to low-voltage stuff that won't kill someone or start a house fire if it doesn't work correctly. Messing with mains voltage seems dangerous and unnecessary since most of the PC runs on low voltage.
