Wifi controlled outlet.

Think this would be the most inexpensive/effective route, are there any stores that you know that carry something like this? Walmart, Staples, OfficeMax? If not its fine, trying to figure out in store availability. I am going on a couple business trips in a couple days and my rig is being a pain in the ass. Don't want to miss out on any minimal crypto gains while I'm gone, can't get the ROI if its offline lol. Thanks a lot guys.

I use teamviewer for remote access, is there anyway to unfreeze by forcing a powerdown on the computer?? My computer was just showing as offline but it still powered on but the computer was frozen/inaccessible.. Is there any creative ideas on how to power off a computer when frozen? My mobo is set to automatically power on after a power-loss.

Search for USB PC Watchdog and find a good one.

You can try OpenSSH for Windows. That will usually let you connect from a remote command prompt when the rig is frozen. Type 'shutdown /s /t 0' to shutdown right away or 'shutdown /r /t 0' to reboot.

If it's locked up, you have to use the physical power button. Maybe some sort of physical circuit with a chip and network interface you can message that is the power button itself that you can communicate with to move the switch when it receives a code?
