Question : Need an internet-enabled power reset switch (power strip).

I need to cycle power on a remote computer (250 miles) away to restart it from "hangs." I am aware of the iBoot and I think APC has something but I'm only budgeted for something under $150.

I need something that can be assigned an IP address and I can access through the web that will cycle the power on the computer.

I can't use a software reboot because the computer hangs and it takes a trip to the computer to push the reset button. It is a Dell Optiplex Small Form Factor GX260 so there is no way to connect to the reset button or the reset pins on the motherboard so cycling the power seems the only solution.

Thanks!
