Jaycar have a 4 relay IP switching kit for under $100. The switcher has it's own built in web server. A web search shows the company that makes the kit has various assembled switching solutions available including rack mounted with standard PC power outlets.
I have one of the jaycar kits, it's just 2 boards, no assembly, simply add 5V Plugpack and connect the 2 modules together with the supplied cord. The build quality of the boards is excellent.
The switcher has 2xNO and 2xNC relays, this should be easily changeable with a bit of simple soldering. The switcher works as expected although at this stage I have been unable to send login details and a switching command together and have the unit switch as per the documentation(the login bit is rejected). If I log in first then it's no problem, so for remote use it wouldn't be any big problem. The documentation is typical chinglish, but it's adequate to get the thing working.
Here's a link to the
manufacturers site and a link to the
IP power 9202 user manual.
