Whilst looking around for a place to hid a few servers I think a few will go back to that little closet under the stars.

Trouble is that I don't want to run them 24/7 as I used to do in the good 'ol days (I know this is bad on the disks but recently I have been thinking of fire risks for some reason - prolly due to a young nipper who will be arriving home).

Anyway question is I know we can get powerbar that can interrupt the power to a PC remotely but can I get one that will boot the machine up also or is there an alternative way of doing it ?

Cheers
