    Two reasons I leave my system running 24/7...

    Firstly, I want instant access, and don't wish to wait for the OS to load, then all the drivers, before being able to access the internet.

    Secondly, more damage is done to the processor and other chips by repeatedly powering up and down a PC, than to leave it running at idle (checkout expansion and contraction due to heat and cold).

    I leave it on all night when I'm seeding (which is most of the time) unless I have an exam the next day. Then I turn it's a little quieter

    The only problem is that I get restricted access on my university server if I UL/DL over 1 GB per day - trying to figure a way around that though...

    I personally just turn my computer off when I go to sleep and turn it on when I get home. Occasionally, when I get fits of upload-whoreness, I'll leave my computer on for the night.
