I want to be able to put my pc into Hibernation at night and then have it wake up at a certain time the next day on its own, anybody got a clue as to how i can go about this?

Assuming that your PC supports ACPI, there are several ways to do this. On some computers, there is an option in the BIOS to wake the system up at a certain time. I also found that Task Scheduler has a similar function (at least when I used Win2K) with an option to wake up when it is required to execute a task.

Yes, the task scheduler will wake the computer up as long as the task is enabled and "Wake the computer to run this task" is checked. This works really slick for my "Alarm Clock" task which plays mp3's at the time I want to wake up.
