Got an HP Pavilion 8790 (Athlon 950) based on an Asus K7M Motherboard and it
has a fancy HP USB keyboard. When the system is OFF (Not asleep), I can
power up the system by tapping the spacebar.

Got an older Asus P2L97 motherboard (PII 400) that has a PS/2 keyboard
attached... Can power it up with the spacebar. Same goes with an USB
keyboard... Spacebar powers it up.

Can you tell me which USB keyboards or USB network adapters can wake a
Windows PC when the PC is turned off or which Windows PC keeps USB power
on
when they are shut off?

We're not talking about standby, we're talking about OFF. Perhaps you are
thinking of the ability to turn on a MAC through the keyboard? I don't
think the above things are possible in Windows.

Since the hub itself is a USB device, and the hub will not be

the powered off laptop, the downstream ports should remain unpowered.

Is there something to use to give energy to USB devices?

For example if I want to use my USB calculator when my notebook is
off,
there's a device (for example with battery) to give energy?

Thanks


Get a self powered USB hub

Depends on the hub and the device. Devices, such as keyboards and
network
adapters are powered so they can wake up the system even when it is
"off". .
