What is the cheapest solution to be able to remotely power cycle a regular 120V outlet via ethernet? I've seen solutions like iBoot, but they're really expensive. Is there a cheap way to remotely power cycle equipment?

Ambery's "Remote Power Switch" is less expensive than the iBoot. It's still over $100 though.
I bought "IP Power 9258T" for $75, but I have not tested it yet. Physically the device is somewhat larger than other similar devices that I have seen, but seems well built.
Here are some possibilities:

There is "Remote network IP LAN power plug switch -web/hangout control w auto-reboot/timer" currently priced at $65 and refurbished iBoot at $50.
