I don't know why I didn't think of this before.
The RPC-3 devices from Bay Tecnnical Associates are small (1U) and on top
of having an IP stack, they also serve as an 8-port power strip with each
outlet individually controllable. They can also give temp and current
measurements. (No snmp, you have to log into them.)

Beyond this, they also have a console port so, if the net is down, you can
still OOB into the device and perhaps power-cycle-fix the network problem.
They DON'T fit your price range but, given the added functionality, they
are well worth the cost just in the time they can potentially save you.
A friend of mine is an authorized dealer for these devices so, if anyone
is interested, let me know and I'll get him in touch with you.
(He monitors NANOG, but lurks vs posting.)
