How often do you switch your computer OFF?
Since my rampdown/rampup sessions take about 5 minutes each way, I tend to keep my laptop on most of the time, but would probably switch it off each night if the whole process was easier and quicker.
How about you?

I use to keep all 4 computers running 24/7. Now I put all of them in standby mode whenever they aren't in use. Standby = 2 about 24 hours a day. 1 about 12. and 1 about 6-8 hours. I never actually turn them off unless I go on vacation or a storm is going through. I have all of them set to turn off the hard drives after 3 mins. Except my main machine which I set to 10 mins. I've seen about $20 less on my electric bills each month over last year (also switched all the halogen and incandescent light bulbs to fluorescents).
I did all that to save electricity (not for monetary reasons - just the right thing to do), and the hard drives I set to turn off because of 2 hard drive failures in the last year (my firsts in 11 years).NICHE MONEY >> Ass Worship • Panties • Solo Teen • Pantyhose

In university I had mine on for two literally two years with the exception of installs and reformats, etc. I noticed that computer didn't last very long so I turn mine off at night now. These days they only take about 30 sec to boot up so why waste the power and put extra strain on it when I'm not even using it. At work I turn off every night to save power.

Backup all my shit and run extensive deep scans every night in the middle of the night. So I only shut down when I need a reboot or if I'm going out of town.

on 24/7, only if i really have to reboot (e.g. windows update, software installation etc.).Comment

Mine are always on, I only turn off my production servers at night... ;)
But seriously, I leave mine on, I find if I turn it off for a day the next day I'm much more likely to have problems booting, HD's failing, etc etc. Computer worked fine, turned it off, and bleh.
So fuuuuck that.Comment

I turn mine off every night. I'm guessing it saves a little electricity and gives the computer a chance to cool off plus it clears up the RAM.Vacares - Web Hosting, Domains, O365, Security & More - Paxum and BTC Accepted

........and people wonder why petrol costs alot.
Kudos to those switching off.
It is not cool, it doesn't mean you are more advanced, and it doesn't make you more money or give you
special powers when you leave them on. People need to stop bragging bout that like it makes them special. It
only makes them retarded.
