PC alarm wakeup

[HeaT]

I'm looking for away to turn my pc on at a certain time and play a song as a alarm clock.

I can get windows to play the song on a schedule but have no idea how to get the PC to boot up without pressing the button!

I have a asus p8p67 pro rev 3.1 motherboard..

Any ideas?

What OS are you using? With Windows 7 you get the option to "Wake the computer to run this task" on the task scheduler.

Some boards have a power on feature in the BIOS to power on the PC at a given time. Most Dell Optiplex have this anyway, not sure if your board supports that or not.
