All PC's in recent years should have ATX power supplies which enable functionality like this. Windows 2000 (and NT 4.0, with special provisions) support this as well. This works great locally, but to remotely power off a machine seems to take a bit more work. I did some searching and found a program (untested) that claims to do it.
