You can't really check if the "system is idle" - it could be that one core is fully occupied while the other(s) are doing nothing. Or the computer could be running a "background internet distributed application" like Folding at home[^] or SETI at home[^] and be technically both "Busy" and "Idle" at the same time!

You can check if the user is doing anything: Getting the user idle time with C#[^] or you can monitor system performance: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.performancecounter%28VS.80%29.aspx[^] but "idle" is a nebulous concept!
