I need a way to turn my Mac on in the morning, and off at night. I basically want to set up a kitchen computer, but I want to minimize power consumption. No need to have it running when we are sleeping. Can OS X do this?
The difference in power usage between off and sleep is pretty small, and sleep lets you resume with all your apps/files open and ready to go in seconds.
