Is it good to leave the computer on 24/7?

how much does it cost to leave teh comp on everday for a month?

 

I think that I asked that.

 

hard to say really, depends on how much your energy company charges you for electricty, plus we dont actually know how much energy your comp is consuming.

 

I turn the monitor off when not in use With the PC, I think most have pretty good power management these days ...

 

I used to only leave it on when downloading and now that when im not downloading, i still leave it on..stupid habit

 

I would turn my screensaver on but on some apps it lets the screensaver override the app and i have to move the mouse everytime

So i dont use SS or auto shut monitor

 

I wouldn't leave on my computer 24/7. I always turn my comp off if I'm not using it.

 

lol. its not that good either, the power supply doesn't like the strain of it that much, if on u also mean standby thats not too bad, but a computer likes a full shutdown once in a while

 

My room get's really hot if I keep it on all the time, so I have to let it cool down and really does make a lot of noise keeps me awake at night.

 

my family blames my computer on how hot the room is, is this true?

 

the states is hot already..turn on a/c or get a fan

 

actually oregon is not that how. hottest day in summer is like 100 F, and thats like 1 or 2 days out of the whole summer

 

i leave it on for dls and but when im at dorm, its on 24/7. and my pc is just fine howerver i did had to rma my mobo b4 :X

 

I leave 2 of my computers on 24/7. They go through occasional reboots, but rarely do they stay off. No problems with hardware failures.

 

wow, 2 computers on 24/7, thats like a waste of electricity isnt it?

 

I didn't keep it on 24/7. Open it only when I use it.

 

not sure...but my labtop on 24/7 for 2 years already and no problem still
