there are lots of utilities that will enable remote shutdowns. I prefer using psshutdown.exe the sysinternals tools are great because you can always use them in scripts with out problems.

Using the "shudown -i" in command prompt is the easiest way I know of shuting down PCs on the network but this however normally needs a fairly complicated network to work on with permissions on the other PC and normally doesn't work on just usual LAN networks. However the VNC option already suggested is a better solution because you can just use another computer as if you were sitting in front of it, I use it to connect to my Server PC because I dont have a monitor for it.
In my opinion the best VNC client and server software is UltraVNC and its also opensource. :)

Open a command prompt and type "shutdown /?" - the "m" option might do what you want. Presumably you need a decent level of permissions on the other computers for this to work.
