Help with installing a Timer on a Power Supply.

Hum understandable. it is safer of course than to just mess with the inner circuit. It is better safe than sorry. But the job is to turn off only the monitor, not the PC. The PC is supposed to be ON 24/7. To keep updating to the Main servers. Plus once the pc is off I have to manually turn it back on. Which means I have to do a daily trip to the mall every day at 10 to turn it on.

Ah sorry, I misunderstood. So it's a combined pc and monitor then? So you can't shut the whole thing down. In that case I would be looking at power saving options in the operating system, or some power saving utility software maybe.
