We just bought our daughter a desktop PC for her room (without internet access).
We had an IT guy from my wife's work (major state university) build it for us. We trust that he knows what he's doing. Here is the problem, he said we should always leave it on. Don't turn it off and on as it wears out some of the components. Only problem with this is it makes some noise and she is not use to it yet and has problems getting to sleep. Question is: Leaving it on ya or na? Does it make a differance to the machine??? Thanks Paul |

You could put the worlds 10 best computer support specialists in a room and ask the exact same question and get 10 DIFFERENT answers! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
When a computer is ready to go, it will do it no matter what, so just do what you feel is best. No harm no foul! I have had computers on 24/7 that lasted 10 years. and right next to them the exact same type of computer on 24/7 broke with in 2 years. Same goes with turning them on and off. My home computer gets turned off and on and it always works fine. My computer at work gets turned of at night and it breaks a lot. Usually by the time a computer breaks, your ready for a new and better model anyways. And if not, the parts are super cheap to get. You can't win... so just do what you feel...
