Local Cooling - A Cool Windows App
I just found this piece of software yesterday. It manages your power consumption on your Windows machine. It can be configured to shut off your monitor, spin down your disks and shutdown or hibernate after a certain period of inactivity. I shut my computer down once I am done using it so I have been getting the most benefit out of the disk spin down. My savings are not that great since I don't leave it on all of the time but if you are someone who does this software might help.
There is a slight lag when you need to access the disk drive but in the day I have been using it it hasn't been a real irritation.
You can also tell it not to shut down if certain applications are running or during certain times of the day.
