Hi, my name is Ashton and i'm new to the forums (as if you didn't guess that) Lol.
Now to my query:
I was wondering whether you guys think it is better to leave your system running 24/7 rather than turning it on and off, in terms of hardware stress?
At the moment I'm about 50/50, i turn my machine off during the week but I leave it up on the weekends. However, I would prefer just to leave it up 24/7 so I don't have to keep opening stuff that I want open all the time (like Firefox, Windows Media Player). Btw, I have a brand new Dell system so thats why I'm a bit concerned as to whether I'm doing the right thing by my system.
Thanks.
