| I'm Evil  | I leave it on 24/7 usually, unless I'm going to be out of town or something....usually because its fairly quiet and really doesn't cost much to keep running. Pluse I have the craziest hours in the world and if I can't sleep am always up and about reading about something INTEL QX9650 ASUS P5E3 Premium 4GB DDR3-1600 Sapphire HD 3870X2 Danger Den Tower-26 (Custom W/C) 5 x Seagate 250GB HDD in RAID5 BFG ES 800W PSU |

| 24/7 here. I'll restart it occassionally just because it seems to perform better if I do but that just may be me.  |

| I run it 24/7 until I need to reboot, or the performence starts going way way down. Doesnt seem to have any problems running 24/7. Except that the fan i screwed onto the passive northbridge sink is a bit buzzzzy Opteron 64 165--1.5GB DDR--ECS KA1 MVP(thanks HL!)--x1800GTO 256MB--Seagate 320GB SATA--Antec 550 Watt--Antec P180 |

| I don't know how to put this, but, I'm kind of a big deal.  | 24/7 for me too. When I go to bed, I put the PC on Standby so the fans kick off, which both makes it quieter in my room and keeps it from getting too toasty (especially in the summertime).  |

It's not necessarily bad, I have just found that most every time I try to use hibernate it never really works correctly afterwards (compared to how it runs after a fresh boot-up). If it works for ya, then go for it! :thup: For me, it varies. I might leave it on if I'm priming or running Memtest or something, but most of the time I shut it off in hopes of saving a few extra cents on the electricity bill :P  | |
