PC: on or off?
 

do you always leave your PC on or do you turn it off when not in use?

I will turn it off at night when I go to bed, know that I'm going out for a couple hours and while I'm at work,

But leave it on usually throughout the day if I'm home.

I know there is a age old debate on what is better for your PC. I turn mine off when I'm not around it so something like a fan outtage, etc doesn't occur when I'm not home/sleeping. Plus it helps keep the electric bill down.

I turn mine off before I go to sleep.

weve already done this. And someone posted a link to a study that prooved that keeping hte comp on actually used the same or a little less electricty(if you leave it off for a week this wont work obviously)
Anyways, at home I turn it off, but at school I leave it on.

my windows box is on 3-4 days then i reboot (because it keeps being laggy). Linux box is on 24/7.

leave it on because im a lazy bastard and i dont pay for electricity. I think im being an asshole but i should turn it off

I turn it off when i'm done using it. I always think "Hey, what happens if the cooling fan takes a shit and i'm not at home?"

that makes sense. ill start turning it off more often

my pc is off all the time. only use it to burn shit.

my laptop is on all day, and i usually turn it off when i goto sleep unless im downloading something overnight

yeah i should do that more often

Mine rarely goes off - Usually only when the g/f stays over, because she can't sleep with the buzzing from the tower....

I've noticed that they can heat the room a little bit too, especially if you have a CRT monitor.

LOL. do you have two have sex?!?!OMGGGGG

i leave mine on all the time, unless i go away for more than a day...
