i never turn it off (except for pc upgrades and the like). no reason to turn it off, and its reltivly quiet, plus im always downloading something. and during the night i play music on it.
Gaint Antispyware is the #1 greatest Spyware/Adware cleaner ever created, I recomend it to everybody, even if you don't think you need it.
Used to leave it on. When I realized I was the one paying the electric bill, no more downloading

my old pc i used to shut down whenever it wasnt used, and never downloaded with it as it was far to noisey, used my laptop for downloading a it quiter. near silent. but since i got my new pc that been on a few times downloading., and since folding@home, my laptop hasnt been of, and pc is usally left on aswell now.

24/365 except when upgrading.
Never reboot unless absolutely necessary. I've got a prog which effectively flushes out all the out of date System Cache, which seems to be the main downfall with Win2k. Updating to XP soon, but I suspect that has exactly the same excessive cache retention problem.

I usually keep mine on for 3 days at a time. Prefer to give my PC some time to 'cool off' although it probably doesn't need it.
Just out of curiousity, does anyone in the UK know how much it costs to leave a PC on 24/7? Having a debate with my friends on this one...
