I actually tried to configure my desktop system to power off after a
while, and wake up using a Wake-On_LAN signal from one of the BLU
servers. My mother board and chipset were supposed to be configured to
be able to do that, but I gave up because I was not able to get it
working from inside of my LAN. There is no place in the BIOS that I
found to enable it, but it can be enabled by setting directly on the NIC.=
