You can also add round values to the list of timeouts that 'display settings' shows in the drop down list!
gconftool-2 -t list --list-type=int -s /system/osso/dsm/display/possible_display_dim_timeouts [30,60,120,300,600,1800,3600]
gconftool-2 -t list --list-type=int -s /system/osso/dsm/display/possible_display_blank_timeouts [30,60,120,300,600,1800,3600]

Better install the gconf-editor for those sorts of hacks.

The quotes are a good idea as a rule of thumb.
For me, the extended timeouts are the real story; acmonitor is more of a fun toy. Having looked at the design (and the cpu load with 'top', i don't see how the 770 version could be sucking up battery).
To test if acmonitor affects battery life, you can set up a cronjob that appends current time to a text file every 10 minutes, then leave the unit on before you go to sleep and see how long it holds out with and without acmonitor.
I'll put a warning up on my page if we can confirm this effect.

And the best part - your settings will be persistent after reboot!
