Computer on 24/7 or off every night?
Hey guys, I recently just put together a couple of computers (for the first time), and was wondering if any of you could enlighten me as to whether or not it's better to leave your computer on 24/7 or power down every night and on every morning.
What are your thoughts? I'm thinking in terms of energy consumption (and how this translates into my monthly electricity bill) as well as thermal/electrical stress on the hardware.
Thanks!
