Quick...
You should always leave your PC on....never shut it down unless you plan to be away for 2 or more days.
I'll give you the scenerio again," When do you usually blow a light bulb? When you first cut it on." Turning
it on and off and on and off can cause pretty bad initial surges to the motherboard and such. PC's don't
use that much juice anyway....mostly the monitor does. Just power off the monitor when you leave.
