PCI PC Remote START/RESET Control

Any of you ever used one of these? Just wondering what your thoughts on these are? Aside from the gimmick factor I can see a legitimate use for something like this if your PC was located away from your desk (Lazy I know) or maybe for a media center positioned under or behind the TV......

Wake on lan app from you mobile phone to wake your media pc hidden away does the job.
(if the pc supports wake on lan....)

And you can always set an automated task to switch the media pc off at a certain time at night.

The pci card might be handy if you had to reset a pc regularly....
