Default computer question

is there an option, maybe in bios, for a comp to turn on at a certain time, like an alarm?

get a timer for the power and turn your computer to "on power restored" to "power on"

You can, Chuck. On our Abit, you can set it to come on daily @ a certain time.

It is in the BIOS via Power Management.
