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
