This has been a debate since PC's became common in peoples homes...

The theory was that once you turn on a machine, it heats up, the boards expand, etc. So the turning on/off cycle can eventually crack and warp the circuit boards, its harder on your bearings and other moving parts, etc...

However, leaving them on all the time wears out the bearings in fans and hard drives, and it does waste power.

With the new computers, the standby or hibernate options are pretty reliable, so thats an option.

Personally, I turn my computer on in the morning, and turn it off at night. Its a good compromise between longevity of components and energy savings. (Works for my 8 year old Dell that I used daily for work and school, still use it today)

Just my .02.
