PC's are designed to stay on indefinately, last time I shutdown was when I inserted a new gfx card 1 year ago..
so I suppose it depends.. I would suggest you leave your pc on (unless you using a notebook) It's really just the monitor that gobbles power..
Who said PC's are designed to stay on indefinitely? You're making that up. It's stupid to leave your computer on all the time and doing so wastes electricity and money.
Member since:i leave mine on... why shut it down... i have the montior kick off after 15min of usage and usually flick it off at night but thats it...
any ideas which one wears out a electrical device faster - leaving it on or change of states (off/on)? give you one guess at it....
i would say a computer left on would cost you about a few dollars a month.... give or take...
heck i use mine every few hours so why would i shut it down? if you arent going ot use it for a day or so then maybe but otherwise on is better....
oh and saying something is stupid is just stupid!
