For single PC's its not a big deal. When I worked at a small college, we started powering down all pc's 3 hours after the last class in the day, and then waking them all up with WakeOnLan about 30 min before their first classes. Since each lab had 30 pc's, it added up pretty quickly. Also, less AC needed, since they weren't warming up the room all night.

This seems like the best plan to me. Nobody wants to wait for their computer to boot when they show up in the morning, but you can still be smart and save some power overnight.
