How long do you keep your computer on?

How long do you keep your computer powered on?

I generally leave mine on all day, even when I'm not at my desk. I'll usually shut it off before I go to bed, though.

+1. My computer is only off when I am sleeping.

I have two computers that are almost always on, although they do go into power saver mode after a certain amount of idle time. The third computer (kids') gets shut down nightly.

I only turn it off when I go to sleep at night, so basically all day

24/7. About a week at a time, though.

this box has achieved 400+ days before now, but I've had to move it since and also it got shut down and unplugged as a safety precaution during a very intense thunderstorm

I never understood why people don't turn off their computer, aside from servers. You know these things require power to stay on? I treat it like a light switch, on when I'm using it, off when I'm done. If you don't like the long boot up time, just put it on standby. It'll start up quicker than my monitor turns on.
