Control Our Holiday Tree over IP
If you haven't been able to convince the folks around you to put up a Holiday Tree this year, we've got the perfect solution for you!
In the spirit of the Holidays, we've erected the first ever StarTech.com "Holiday Tree over IP", as well as the "StarTech.com Snowman" and the "Parts Penguin", all controllable over an Internet connection from the comfort of your computer!
This festive configuration includes a standard Holiday Tree and two sets of LED lights that are individually controlled by our PCM815SHNA 8 Outlet Remote Power Switch (with RS232 Interface). The Remote Power Switch is connected using a 9-pin straight through cable to our SV1115IPEXT External Server Remote Control KVM over IP device, which is connected to the Internet to provide remote access to the power functions provided by the remote power switch (namely to turn the lights on or off).
Because the SV1115IPEXT is secured using SSL(https) and VNCS encryption, permissions have been set to allow multiple viewers, but only one control point. To assume control of the lights, simply click on one of the buttons (i.e. Green Lights)!
To see the Holiday Tree over IP in action, please click on the link below!
Control our Holiday Tree! (the password is "easy")
UPDATE: The Holiday Tree over IP has been taken down for the year - but stay tuned in the coming months for more "Over IP" activity!

Sort categories by price or popularity
To help narrow your search for products based on pricing or popularity, we've added a new feature that allows you to display ascending or descending results from a given category, based on price or popularity.
Once you've selected the product category, such as KVM Over IP Products there will be three possible "sort by" selections available: Popularity, Lowest Price and Highest Price.
If you want to view the least expensive products included in the product category first, click on Lowest Price, or for the most expensive product in a given category, click on Highest Price. And last but not least, if you want to view the product category in terms of popularity, click on Popularity to sort individual product listings with the most popular items listed first.
