So I got this great used PowerMac G4 466. Its super clean and came with lots of ram and HD, all for $50. So I set the monitor to sleep after 5 minutes and the computer to deep sleep after 15 minutes. The machine NEVER goes into deep sleep. The only things that are ever running are iChat and Mail, I have no idea what would be keeping this machine awake. Any ideas?

USB pci cards or external peripherals. Try disconnecting/removing some.

The only PCI card is the video card, and the only peripherals are they keyboard, mouse, and an ipod shuffle.
