this is out of bounds of jaws but to answer your question, the only thing that is actually affected by setting monitor sleep is the monitor at least in modern pcs. I have seen a pc or two a long time ago that killed jaws when the monitor switched off but that was long ago and far away. I'd recommend that if you don't use the monitor you turn it off. I'd recommend that if you do use a monitor that you set it to sleep at a maximum of 60 minutes. More than that can cause the monitor to over heat if it is not in use.
