With ACPI and suspend to disk, you can turn off the system and get to
keep your previous uptime (and everything else) when you next boot up :)

I kept a WinXP box "up" for 3 weeks doing this, while turning it off
every night.  Quite nifty; 5 second boot times, and my system exactly
how I left it the night before.

Not terribly useful or desirable for a server though :)
