If the machines are on a network, you could just ssh into each one
of them and poweroff the ones where you detect inactivity, based on
load average or other metrics (for example is the screensaver running
with the same PID since 10 minutes?).

Just put a script doing that in a crontab on one "master" machine
and let it always run.
