To expand on the subject.
I have a Win 7 machine. Using a Kill-A-Watt device, I found out it costs me $21/month for the electricity to run this setup. (Networking gear + PC + 360 + PS3) It costs that much because I keep my PC on ALL the time because I can't get Windows to NOT standby/hibernate when I'm doing video encoding, rendering, or downloading torrents or from usenet.
There has to be some way, some app I can use that will suppress standby/hibernation while there is activity from certain applications.
Isn't there?

Suboptimal, but it works.
