That wouldn't work. Those products act as a "switch" so to speak. All the products that operate off a timer like those are products that are on whenever electricity flows through them. For example, a microwave is plugged in to a outlet, timer kicks on microwave turns on. There is no start button to the microwave it just turns on when power is sent through it. Now for a PC theirs juice running to the PC whenever its plugged in whether it is on or not but one must physically hit he "On/Off" button to complete the circuit. Heres the best way I found to do what you want to do...

Turn on your computer for a convenient time automatically
Go to your Computer Setup (press Del when your PC is loading).
Go to “Power Management Setup” and enable “ PWron/Resume by alarm” and set date alarm and time alarm and then press F10 to save your change and turn off your pc.
On specified date and time, your pc will turn on
Also check the BIOS of your pc to see if you have a wake up and shutdown option.
