Mine is the computer that is never off. No reason to turn it off. They're not that expensive to run 24/7. Myself and my two roommates run all three of our rigs 24/7.
 
i turn mine off when i will not be using it until several hours later, but if i am downloading a large file i will leave it on at days at a time if need be, so i voted depends.

Nice, liked that one!

The only thing that makes me nervous is a crash when I am not home or sleeping, and I might lose folding time! :D
 
"only while in use"...

My comp gets slow and laggy after a while. Must be the memory management of Windows :rolleyes:
