Should you turn your computer off at night?
The idea that you should avoid turning your computer off at night is pretty popular: After all, frequent shutdowns and start ups are going to have an impact on the components and wear them out faster. Aren’t they? On the other hand, you’d imagine having your computer running all the time is going to contribute to wear and tear as well, wouldn’t you?
So what’s the deal? Should you turn it off or leave it on?
“If you use your computer more than once a day, leave it on at least all day”
“If you use it in the morning and at night, you can leave it on overnight as well. If you use your computer for only a few hours once a day, or less often, turn it off when you are done.”

I've never turned off a PC since 1983

You would think people would have the sense to just put their computers to sleep.

I leave mine on all the time because it is too much of a pain to constantly wake it up. It's also a server that I always want access to.
