Confusing title, huh?
Since the GXs and I suspect most of Dell's PCs don't have an on/off switch on the PSU I made the habit of turning off the power switch on the outlet when not using the PC (after shutting down the PC safely of course), but when I turn it on, the GX immediately boots without pressing the power button in the front. I've tried to fiddle with the BIOS settings (for ACPI) and set it to return to the previous state once AC power is resumed, but with this setting when I turn on the power switch the PC turns on for a few seconds then immediately turns off. Any solution to this? Thanks in advance!

I have an Optiplex 755, and it does the same thing with the power switch. They do this, to clear out the front fan of dust and other junk. As for the turning on, I don't think it's possible. After looking around, I can't find a solution.
