ScotsmanInTX ::: Favorites It's safe, I just keep my PC off when I'm out of town, or to clean up. My power Bill bill has made no big change really when I've had it off for weeks when I go on trips. But Chris is right, off, on, off on all day is going to kill the life time of the PC. People who are paranoid about some one is going to hack them while they sleep lol, just unplug the DSL,cable or what ever you may use at night soon as your done for the day. That way you can rest easy Ian 07-05-21 15:58:33 _____________________________________________________

AJenbo ::: Favorites Yes, but for the love of god turn it off if it's not doing somthing. the potentual damage physical from not turning it on is about as high as the risk from turning it of and on the whole time. 07-08-17 22:10:43 _____________________________________________________
computiliz ::: Favorites I leave my desktop on standby during the day and turn it off at nights.... On my laptop I use Hibernation but I do restart it everyday to get system restore to create a restore point in case things go wrong. My Thought: Its up to you...If you want to be safe from hackers just disable your network adapter or turn it off. Desktop:On during day/Off during night. Laptop-Hibernate/One restart everyday or two. 07-08-20 01:43:55 _____________________________________________________
