I used to have my computers run full time without hassles, and still do for the most part. Weekends my work computer is shut down. I think the fan noise will be the primary concern in this situation.
I don't run any computer without a firewall and virus protection. Still, be sure the internet connection is dead when not in use. Cable is usually not dead unless you power down the modem, and this leaves you too vulnerable to attack even with a firewall. Plus I have about four favorite programs that I use to scan my computers regularly. About the only safe computing nowadays is not to be connected to the web. Many people I know have one computer for the web and another for work. |

I'm guessing you daughter is pretty young for something like a computer to affect her sleep, so do what makes it easier for her to sleep. If she's young, the chances of her having important term papers and such on the computer are pretty slim. And if she does have important items on it, back 'em up. Computers, and their components, are too cheap nowadays to let it affect your sleep.
