There is no right or wrong answer to this one -- even the so-called "pros"
don't agree.
Do what you feel comfortable with and makes sense in your life and where
you live.
Electric use of pcs these days is minimal; and pcs tend to run cool for
the most part.
Your furnace, air conditioner, refrigerator and the like remain operation
24/7 and they seem no the worse for it.
On the other hand, if a pc isn't going to be used for hours, it probably
doesn't make sense to keep it running either.
And if you live in an area where thunder and lightning is a concern, I
wouldn't leave it running during those times.
In most instances, you will choose to replace a pc long before it wears
out anyway.
It is a fun question to discuss -- and some get highly emotional on it --
but there is no real right or wrong answer except for what seems to make
sense in your world.
What I wouldn't do is continually turn a pc on or off -- and this is
conventional advice for most electrical run things such as tvs, lights and
radios.
My relationship with God begins with trust.
It also continues in trust.
