    It is suggested, however, that it be shut down, every few nights, to refresh the memory. It should be a cold boot and not a restart.

    Is the author of that link serious? I wonder what server people would say.

    I think he means if it is 35 degrees, you shouldn't have a heat problem.

    Correct, this is quasi an arctic temp - in PC terms. No action required.

    I know people who run their computer for 100 days without ever shutting it off. It is a waste of enegy, but should not harm the PC.
    Mine runs 24/7. I am usually on it 8-16 hours a day, and it's also used as a media server, so i can access media where ever I have internet access on my phone or ipad.

    There are people running machines at 100% load for 24 hours a day 7 days a week "Folding". That can be expensive, but it's for a good cause.
