Default Home Automation, Where do I start?

How would I control my front porch light using my computer? Are there x10
devices with certain software or is there something I can plug into my
computer to do this? I don't want just a timer or a "Clapper" that I plug
into the wall. I want to be able to start a program from my computer and
click a button and see my porch light come on or go off.

Thanks
Shane
