I have a setup using Wake On Lan on my desktop and my router running DD-WRT. I set up a cron job on the router that sends the 'magic packet' to the desktop in the morning, then the machine shuts itself off at night. Or I can wake it up by hitting a port that is forwarded with a magic packet.
When I was hosting my little site at home I had it set up so any traffic to port 80 would wake the machine and then it would shut off after a few minutes of inactivity. Gotta save those mW-h's.
