Does any consumer grade motherboard have IPMI* support? When I tried to optimize my server costs one issue I ran into was that colocation providers require IPMI capability, which seems only available in server-grade motherboards.
To elaborate, while I like such optimization efforts, for this to work you'd need to run your own datacenter because the _ones I have found_ that offer cheap bandwidth require IPMI (to lower their labor costs).
Or you need to know some providers I don't know, in which case, tell me. :)
* IPMI is for remote hardware management
