I turn my computer off whenever there is nothing big coming down the pipe and I want to give it a rest. I sometimes will leave my laptop on overnight if dling tunes.

i've left my computer on all night for a long time now. I don't know if it is bad for the computer (especially with a laptop), but it helps me get movies and larger files faster...

I leave three of mine on 24/7. Just turned them all off during an extended power outage and one wouldn't power up again (replaced the power supply and all is well). I always add at least one more fan to the case and I'm very good about replacing fans when they start to make noise or slow down. One of the computers in question is over ten years old - being on constantly doesn't seem to have hurt it.
