You need a 3rd option that's somewhere in the middle....I leave it on some days, and turn it off others. Really depends on what I'm doing...if I"m dling/upling, then of course it'll stay on.

Why wouldn't I turn it off? Of course, it isn't nearly as noisy now as it used to be, but it's still in the same room where I sleep.

I used to have it on, but now I turn it off at night. I can go to sleep easier with out the dang PSU fan.

It's all about the uptime. :) Now, I will turn it off if I am not going to be using it for more than 24 hrs.

I have a duron 750 running seti 24/7 and it's been 74 days without a reboot:D

My XP2000 goes off as well as the athlon 900 otherwise my dad would complain even more about the electric bill.

Nope. Only time I turn it off is if I'm working on it or transporting it from school to home or vice versa.
