But you gonna have to have the deep pockets, ...
dont suppose anyone knows of IP KVM in the 0-$500 :)

I've been buying HP DL380s for work - they're excellent servers,
and can run everything through the serial port (including the
bios). Plus, they've got a "lights-out" package (standard on
the generation 3 machines) that basically does IP KVM (it gives
you an additional NIC dedicated to it). It's a bit overkill for
home use, but is a great machine. Dual hot-swap power supplies,
SMART Raid controller with 6 hot-swap drive bays, hot swap
fans (do not put this beast somewhere that you have to listen
to it - it's LOUD), in a nice 2U rackmount case. The Gen3s
I got in the summer came with dual P4 2.4 Xeons.
I'm not affiliated with HP/Compaq - just a satisfied customer.
For that matter, I think IBM makes a similar box with a
Lights-out option as well.
For at home, I do the same as other people have noted - I run
most of my linux boxen headless, and just use SSH.
