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?"

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.
