    I want to leave it on, and like PrivatePyle just reboot when something has chuffed up. I have alot of friends that leaves their computer on as long as possible. I wish I could do it too, although my parents won't let me do that. Of course sometimes I leave it running for a whole day (when I'm at school) but it has to be turned off before I go to bed.
    Love, Peace and Linux

    I leave the dining room one on (since it's the least used room) all the time - I reboot once a month.

    Mine stays on when I'm at home. All the time. If I go out for more than a couple of hours it gets turned off. I never leave it on overnight.

    I used to leave mine on all night... but it's so anti-socially noisy now... my room could be a corporate server room - the machine can be heard downstairs....

    24/7 - only reboot to adjust clock speeds, install new items and/or clean filters on my fans.

    If I can sleep with my girlfriends drunken snoring I'm sure a few fans will not bother me
