pc alarm clock?

is there such a thing?
basically, my phone is shagged, and i dont have an alarm clock, i use my phone as an alarm clock. i read up somewhere before [when my phone was bollocksed again] that you can set windows task manager to play a mp3 or system sound at a certain time.. ergo, an alarm clock, but i couldnt get it to work.
does anyone know of an actual failproof program thats free that will help me out?. the problem is cos i have to be up at 7am, and my missus is staying at her grandparents house tonight, so i have absolutely no way of guaranteeing safe wake-up callages in the morning

In the windows control panel go to "scheduled tasks" or "task scheduler" (NOT task manager) and you can set an mp3 to play at a certain time. You don't need to download any special software.

I use something called Banshee Alarm, it's free to download and works well.

ah awesome, that looks like exactly what i was needing
just given it a test run, and seems to work brilliantly.
does it require that the system dosnt go into standby?.. i'll switch standby off anyways tonight, but for future reference..?

I want to buy like a tablet PC or a large flat screen monitor and use this as my clock: http://www.uniqlo.jp/uniqlock/

Lira has this thing where Stu calls him when it's time to wake up, you should get one of those.
