quick question..leaving computer on?

[robxpark]

hey guys. quick question.

is it ok to leave my desktop on all the time or should i turn it off when i go to sleep?

I usually come back from work around 6 and go to sleep around 12 so the computer is only used for those 6 hours or so.

thanks

My computer has been on and folding for over 3 years! It will be OK.
Remember though, your using electricity when its on.

The only concern this question might really pose for you is your electrical bill, depending on your computer setup/draw. You may save a relevant amount or it may not be an issue at all for you.
