I've found that besides the heat problem, turning things off makes my Electic Company Meter look less like a speedometer.

Mine spins like a roulette wheel...place your bets.

I've tried it both ways.  With 3 puters, 1 in each room, we turn them off.  I've had 1 of the puters about 5 years now so it hasn't messed it up.  But its a ***To each their own***.

I always turn mine off, if i am going to be away from it more than an hour i turn it off, just because of the past when bad things happened when i left it on 24/7

I only leave mine on at night if I 'm running a backup image or an in depth scan.  CPU fan sounds like a Huey chopper.

Clean your fans....you would be amazed at the decible change.

 

I turn mine off every night. It's a me thing. Then there are the monthly cleanings, because it is so damn dusty here, even in the winter, and the occasional involutary hard shut downs when I am in the middle of something....usually due to some moron hitting a powerline, or Mother Nature playing havoc with us.

I always Turn My PC's off at night because it's just cheaper. And when you have more than 3 Desktops running all the time the power company LOVES you BUT your WALLET DOESN'T.

This Is a question that Doesn't really have a wrong answer.

For me, I always shut it down. I never saw a reason to keep it running, especially when no one was using it.

Here is some good info, just recently updated also. http://apps1.eere.energy.gov/consumer/your_home/appliances/index.cfm/mytopic=10070
