One thing I love about the dell and hp servers are the remote lights out 
/ drac cards that are available. Being able to remotely view the console 
across a VPN and power-cycle the machine is such a great comfort.

Are there any cards for "vanilla" servers that perform a similar (remote 
console / remote power) function ?
