Do you leave it on?

Do you leave your computer(s) on 24/7 or do you turn them off when you don't use them?

I leave my PC on 24/7. I also set my computer to turn the monitors off after one hour of non-activity to save some power.

I turn it off when I'm done with it. I will have my second computer up and running soon with a couple servers on it later. But I dont keep it on 24/7 or 24 hours at that.

I leave mine on 24/7 usually.. but i don't worry about burn in with 2 17" LCD monitors. I turn the monitors off anyways to save what little energy they use. (force of habit)

As long as mine wants to keep running, it stays on. If I feel it getting a bit warm, I'll shut it down. I manually turn my monitor off whenever I leave for an extended amount of time.

All three get turned off when I am done for the day. No sense wasting the electricity. I also unplug them all.

I was fond of the Leave me alone you pervert option though.

Besides, then I might need to find a place to mount the switches for the five neons in my one case.
