Poll 676 I've heard keeping your computer on for a while is actually more beneficial than harmful, and turning it off every night actually wears out the processor (and battery if you use a laptop). I'm not sure where I read this or who said it, but it doesn't sound right. Regardless, I do usually turn it off every night before I go to bed, unless I'm doing an overnight download/disk defrag/virus scan. I'm trying to keep this computer in tip top shape, since my last one crapped out earlier than it should have. I think it was because I had it consistently on. |

I turn it off every night when I go to bed. Mostly because it's in the same room as me and the lights on the case make my room blue in the dark and because I'd rather not listen to the fans spin as I sleep. This was the case when I lived in Oklahoma too. Before that, I usually left the computer on because it was in the basement away from me. |

I always turn off a computer when I know I won't be using it for several hours. |

Every night. I don't bother to turn it on in the first place when I know I will be leaving the house, otherwise I would probably turn it off upon departures. |

I turn mine off when I know I'm not going to be using it for a while Like over night, or when I'm at school. |

About once or twice a week is about right. Due to the fact I'm using it 90% of the time, or I'm processing a video I can't afford to turn it off. If I'm not doing anything on it, however, I usually put it in "Sleep". |

If I go to bed late, I'll turn it off, otherwise I'll assume that someone else will want to use it and thus keep it on. |

I always turn it off once I've finished using it. Otherwise, my parents would (or my mom would start using it). |
