We bought jobbers off the shelf for this - for approx $250 you get a central control jobber and a bunch of jobbies you plug into outlets and then the cpu into that - I DONT USE THEM EVER because I have found that more times than not (unless it is my 1 last SCO box) is that something serious, that requires my prescence went wrong - like a bad hard disk - and power cyclingly blindly in many cases would not only hide the evidence of what is up, but could actually make matters worse.home | help
