Interesting concept - a combination of Big Brother and LoJack. You may even have this installed in your computer's BIOS already and not know it. They say it won't start tracking until you pay for one of their "packages." They say it is self-healing, even if the BIOS is flashed and the HDD replaced.

You will have to contact them directly to find out the costs.
