I chose the second choice - leaving it on all day.
However, it's not entirely correct - I leave it on all day at weekends only, during the rest of the week I only have it on when I'm at home, but then constantly.
(Since I've got an ASUS board, one of their programs, 6engine, reduces power consumption when the PC isn't in use. Of course, another program, Folding at Home, increases consumption I guess.
Anyway, I like having constant access when I'm at home, or mostly at home.)
