You can have it set to turn off after a given amount of time using the Windows OS. By doing this: START-Control Panel-Performance and Maintainance (if you are using the XP catagories view)-Power Options. The just selct the time that you want it to run before turning it off.
That is an easy way to do it without downloading anything, and I do not recommend you download something to automatically turn off your computer, as it may not do so in a proper manor, and you may end up turning on your computer to an error message saying System 32 files are missing.
Please us the method I gave you.

If you are using Windows XP, it usually ships with a command called shutdown.exe. If you have that on your computer, you can write it into a simple batch file that basically has only that command in it, and use Windows Task Scheduler to schedule a job that starts that batch file at whatever time you want the computer to turn off.
