In that case, you could just go for a lcd drawer with IP KVM switch. Something like the Avocent ECS17KMM or Minicom SmartRack

Or maybe this one: ATEN CS1764A 4-Port USB2.0 DVI KVMP Switch

The performance of the lantronix is usually good, specially if you compare it to atens. My personal favorite when it comes to remote kvm performance are although the ip kvms from minicom

I'm using the Belkin Flib KVM (http://www.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=267041) at home, cost around $50 and works ok...

I never had any issue with my kvm switches, when i use usb ports. If your kvm switch original is made for ps/2, try this PS2-USB converter

Power on Cable would give you remote power control for a single pc.

The IP Control from Minicom should work perfectly for you.

Main difference is the performance. IP KVMs have much better video performance than the IPMI. Personally I prefer the Smart 216IP from Minicom who has a great mouse synchronization also on my linux.

I am crazy about the new IP KVM switches, that also give you remote power control.
