Well you can set your computer to go to hibernate or system standby (low power usage)..2 hours of inactivity.. right click on the desktop and under the screen saver tab there is a power button on the bottom. Just set it to the time it takes for you to charge the Ipod

go to start ->run -> shutdown -s -t xxx
where xxx is the time before the pc shutdown in milliseconds.

1 hour in milliseconds is 360000
2 hours in milliseconds is 720000
3 hours in milliseconds is 1080000

..... i think

or forget the timed operation and use scheduled tasks to set a time(or period of idle) to run shutdown.exe -s.
