Computer turn on??? How long?

I think I understand your question of how long can a Computer be on? I leave all 5 of mine on 24/7

Until the power is cut off, or the thing crashes, or an important component malfunctions, or the system breaks down due to degradation of the silicone of the chips.
 
I'd power once on, once off per day. If you use your computer a lot throughout the day, I'd leave it on 24/7. I've been running my Athlon like that for 2 years. It's a good idea to set your monitor to power down when your not at your PC as CRTs use a lot of juice. The book Upgrading and Repairing PCs has a good section on this.
