What do you want to turn it on? Check in the BIOS for things like
WakeOnLan.

To George, the original poster.
You computer turns on when you momentarily short two pins on the motherboard.
(The power-on button does that function when you press it).
I guess you could make a timer switch that at a given time would momentarily (key word is
momentarily) close a connection. then wire this timer switch to the appropriate pins on the
motherboard.
Check your motherboard manual for which two pins to short.

right-click your desktop and select properties. Then slect the
"screen saver" tab. Then clikc the "power" button (somthing like
that). then you have options in there, I might suggest to select a
time for hibernation and/or the "turn off disk" bunction. when your
computer hibernates it is pretty much off and just hitting a keyboard
key will bring'er back up.

Not true at all. When the computer is hibernating, all power is off. Hitting
a keyboard key
will NOT bring'er back up. If in 'sleepmode' a keyboard can bring it back
up.
When in hibernation if connected to a LAN it can be brought back up by the
host system via
the BIOS wake on LAN.
Work was being done on waking the computer at a specific time also but I
don't know
the success of that yet.

Check for a BIOS setting. I have a system with an AUSU A7N8X motherboard,
the BIOS allows me to set a time each day for the system to power on.
