Do you ever turn off your pc/laptop and...

I run 7x24 Notebook except after Window Update Reboot from last year

Not for BitTorrent Only. I treat it as my personal File Server .When I go outside,I still can get things that I want.

I use a laptop. If I need to take it with me somewhere I do that, if not then it seeds close to 24/7

Meh, they can run 24/7. I have a dell desktop from 10+ years ago that runs 24/7 inside this hot ass cabinet of a desk, its still fine. No hardware failures on it the entire time.

People should *try* to be aware of keeping it cool, and keeping the fans clean etc.

Guess what, people who turn their shit off every night have hardware problems too. I say, if you have a reason for letting it run, then let it run!

Its just a piece of equipment.. use it, thats what its there for.

No, I don´t turn it off unless I see smoke or fire in it.

[JROQuinn]

yup stays on 24/7

[clocker]

I leave my PC on even when I'm not using it just like I leave my car idling even when I sleep and the water running all the time.

I try to justify this by saying "Think of the children!" but really, it's just cause I can.

I've had my server 2003 fileserv running for about 4 years straight. Only time it ever goes off is for a quick dust off then it's back to work.

That's the key to long lasting equipment. Dust it.

Only time mine gets shut down is if a new program install requests a reboot .

i leave my laptop and desktop on. unless i absolutely have to turn them off.

I turn my laptop off when I'm not using it but my desktop is usually on 24/7 seeding torrents. When I'm not seeding torrents, I turn my computer off at night. I agree with what slimdogp said about using your computer for what you need. You shouldn't have to worry about the possibility of your computer breaking constantly.
