When I was looking @ putting video encoding compute boxes in a colo with metered power, I played with wake-on-demand to only spin them up when they actually had jobs to do. 

I was using Proxmox' built in WoL nonsense along with some terrifying calendar automation to schedule boxes being alive. 

Someone who cared a little bit more could probably write quite a nice thing where you can "book" time and have a box/boxes spin up, and gracefully shut down when done. 

Apropos of very little, I used to heat my old flat's bedroom w/ a box because the central heating in that flat was *so bad* that it was cheaper to get the company to pay me for colo! Lived under the bed - Terrible place for a computer.
