1. I use these in my bedroom http://www.cambridgesoundworks.com/store/category.cgi?category=mul_spk_csw&item=c1pcwzzzz 2. if the BIOS your comp is running supports it you can set the PC to turn on at a given time. Wake on Lan would work but if you run wirelessly it might not. -- vain4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ vain4's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3502 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33658 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
