[Tfug] OT - PC Autostart Hardware

[Jim Secan]

I know there's lots of hardware lurkers out there, so here's a HW  
question.  I use network power switches to allow me, or an automated  
process, cycle power to a PC.  These things are not cheap, and they  
are one more piece of equipment to keep track of and fiddle with (and  
get lost/stolen).  Are there internal PC power supplies that can be  
triggered to do a power cycle from a process running on that same PC?   
I have a PC that also houses a GPS receiver, and when things hang my  
first hack-fix is to force a reboot, and I'd like to have a second  
level of response wherein I cycle power to the whole box.  Does such a  
power supply exist, and what about SW to drive it?

TIA
Jim
