[ale] computer controlled power switches

[Dan Lambert]

APC makes a Rack Power Distribution Unit that is switched and metered. 
It would allow him to switch individual receptacles on the RPDU from a 
remote location. They are used in data centers to allow remote control 
of reboots and such.

I can't tell you the cost, but they are available in a huge variety of 
counts per RPDU, and in all the various voltage and amperages required 
for modern data equipment worldwide.
