Do you leave your computer on 24/7?

My bastard of a graphics card fan makes too much noise for me to sleep with the computer turned on.

Tried turning up all other fans in my case to their max speeds, and the level of noise hardly increased one iota.

It's better to leave it running then to start stop it all the time... at least it is for HD and other mechanical parts...

I've got two loud systems near my bed. I've found that I actually can't sleep anymore without the blissful sound of all my fans.

I leave mine on but with the odd bad storm ,If I'm awake I'll get up and turn it of .Had a power surge hit me last year and fried my mobo .

But I set up all my maint. programs to run @ 2:00 am , like defrag , Giant , etc. Seems so much better just wake up grab a coffee I'm set to go . I don't believe the crap about it using that much electricity leaving it on all the time .
