    I was wondering if there was a way to remote start a computer with some hardware that works like a Remote Car Starter?

    Can Google "Wake on Lan" that allows you to turn on a pc from any where in the world. Most pc's have the Wake feature built into the BIOS.

    Im more looking for a Infra-red sensor like a tv or some sort of "remote starter ". I read about the "Wake on Lan" it's cool and al; that but it's nit quite what im looking for.

    There are IR remotes on the market for media center PC's, It is usualy used to turn on and off the PC and control the TV tunner. That is the only type I know of.
