While you're at it, why don't you leave your car running 24 hours a day, so you don't have the wear and tear of turning it off? And don't forget to leave the water faucet open all the time; that way you don't have to worry about the valve.


The point I am trying to make is that the financial cost of running your PC continuously outweighs any benefit you might gain in the lifetime of the hardware.
