the only computers I shut down every night are my laptops...they dont need to run all the time...

My computer isn't loud, but it is noticeable. I turn it off at night. It isn't so much sleep as it is power, and the fact that I'd feel like a nerd if I left it on all the time.

Also, Vista SP1 is going to let people update their computer without having to restart it and stuff. Now you can leave it on all the time.

Another thing is, you can go to power settings in control panel (in Vista) and control performance. Apparently, it is set to medium, so if you want power, you can turn it up, or if you want economy, you can turn it down.

I turn my computer on in the morning when I get up. It goes off when I go to bed at night. This is what happens everyday. As my computer is rather new and as good specifications I wouldn't really need to turn it off.

I just have mine on for the few hours a day that I use it.

Hardly ever. I run 2 desktops in my living room ... always on.

Hmm... I Almost Switches My Computer Instantly Of.. As Soon As I Done My Work

yes I will switch off my comp but bot for long though, it depends on how much work I have. sometimes It runs for the whole day and sometimes it will be rest for the whole day. it all depends.

Never. I leave it LOGGED OFF, but never TURNED OFF. It's because this computer is old and slow, and takes around 10 minutes to boot.

I always turn mine off while I'm asleep at night. Otherwise it'd just be a waste of power and electricity.

Against my will, yes. But only because I don't want my electricity bill to be higher than necessary. If I dont have to think about paying my bills, I wouldnt turn my computer off until the day I die.. Haha
