its better for a computers life-span to leave it on 24/7 - so,
environmentally you wont have to bin/trash several PCB boards and a pile
of plastic and non-recyclable metal parts :-)
as for electric, i have two machines on 24/7 and my electric bill has
hardly even changed (to compensate I do admit that I bought soem
special-offer low-energy bulbs (the number of people who run their whole
house on plain 100W bulbs is staggering - if everyone in the country
switched to low-energy bulbs one whole power station could be switched
off)

really? I find that holding down the ctrl-A-A for 10 seconds will kill all
problems - thats a full reset without the damage of power-cycling.
