IPMI is a server grade feature so as of now X99 Mobos have that feature set.

I was in the same situation when I was researching an IPMI enabled board for my lab PC build. All the indications suggested me that (1) Such a board was pretty expensive for a home lab PC. (2) Add-on IPMI PCI cards were either not available locally or were insanely priced.

Here are some KVM Switches with different prices.Have a look at them:http://www.amazon.in/s/ref=bl_dp_s_web_976392031?ie=UTF8&node=976392031&field-brandtextbin=Iogear
IPMI is an open standard. it only allows you to do few things like looking at a linux text console (SOL serial over lan) or to reboot the box or check the hw status. if you want to do more than that like look at live screen, mount a dvd and reformat etc... you need more than IPMI to handle that.
Also, the IPMI/BMC are assumed to be used on LAN and not over internet as exposing IPMI over public networks is a serious security risk.

We've used this RMM3 few years ago and it works fine. provides a web ui and java based interface to view the screen. but I dont think it will allow you to mount a disk image and boot from it. All our server use ILOM which is much more advanced but doesnt come as a module.

IMPI (atleast supermicro one) does allow you to reformat and install from ISO's over the network.
You can pick up a supermicro motherboard (x10slxxx series) from Mumbai from the retailers for about 16k+taxes

For budget, supermicro. If you are planning for a server build, you should go with IBM, heard some horror stories about Dell support recently.
Just, out of curiosity, what are you planning to get? I am saving up to get a Xeon build for lab testing. IPMI is a want-to-have feature.

In a nutshell something that gives you total control of your machine irrespective of the OS running or not, for desktop system it is a overkill but for servers it's essential as it allows remote shutdown or power up
