This may sound stupid, but why not just leave the box on. There are plenty of power save features built in and screensaver options for just this: unless it's a fire hazard or noise maker.
The computer that I have XP (& SuSE 9.1) on, is a notebook, which I don't leave on. Also, many other times, it's someone else's computer, which I have no control over, in that regard. I do leave my desktop systems up, but none of them run XP. One can boot Windows 98, but it's normally running Linux 24/7. The OS/2 system gets booted & shut down as necessary.
