  Sorry. SBC = Single Board Computer. In this case, usually an 
evaluation boards from a micro-processor manufacturer. The X10s are very 
cheap. You can get them at most electronics stores. The control unit 
plugs into your computer, and the remote unit goes in the remote AC 
power outlet.

  The X10's are about $50 for the controller (supports many remote 
units), and $25 for each remote, so you might not save much money. I 
never found a cheaper way to have a remote controlled relay top 
power-cycle a board under testing.
