IR Or RF Controlled USB Hub, Is there Such A Thing?

Hi,
Is there a powered, remote controlled USB hub that you could plug usb powered fans or even better pc fans etc into?
The hub would just be there to provide power to these sorts of devices, and the IR/RF to turn that power on or off, either to the whole hub or better would be to each individual usb plug.
I've ordered one of these fans:

to go in a new entertainment unit to help keep my amp cool, my amp has a type B usb plug on the back, but I'm not sure if the power still passes through even with the amp in stand-by. I have no type B gadgets to test with.
Cheers
