I'm in the same situation. I have my server in the closet that provides services to my network (DHCP, DNS, MySQL, etc.) but it has no capture cards. Nor can I put any in. This machine is also a low power system. Saves me $$ in electricity. Since this machine is on all the time I too would like to have it wake up other slave backends when there is work to do. I have a development server that I only turn on when I am writing code that I can put capture cards in. I also have my front end downstairs.
I'm still building my system, but this would be the ideal setup for me. When I do get enough stuff to try and get it up and running i'll report my findings. --Nate
