The X10 universal module should do the trick.

way of cleanly shutting it down and switching off. My best guess so far is
to butcher an Appliance module so that the relay is isolated from the mains
and have it short the "Shutdown" button on the PC. I'd have to
send ON then
OFF to stop it holding the shutdown button in and so switching off
immediately, another appliance module could then disconnect the mains a few
minutes later.

His PC is running XP Pro and the main house server is running Win2K Pro.. I
guess this must be possible since BlasterWorm manages to do it across the
t'internet
