EcoGeek is reporting Edison, which is a fantastic idea. Edison allows people to schedule when their computer goes into low power use, or shuts it down.
My computer isn't great about going into hibernate at night. XP seems to have a few issues with the hibernation on my system.
I can't confirm it yet, but it looks like Edison may be able to shut the system off at a scheduled time. That would be really cool. I'm sure I could write a scheduled task to do the same thing, but I know that I'll be in my best game ever of Team Fortress 2 when the shutdown script kills my computer.
