Don't want to sound like a troll or something, but don't you think it's a little irresponsible to leave your computer on so much?, i'm not an eco nut or anything, but i don't know what's so hard about turning off your computer when you don't use it, just to save a little power. | ||

Mind spends nights / other times I'm not using it in sleep mode, which takes almost no power at all. | ||

Leaving the computer on has a negligible effect on hardware failure. Booting process used to be harmful because of the stress on the components..........in the early 90s. Now you can turn it on and off as much as you want with no ill effects. My computer is left on 100% of the time. I have gone several months without restarting. | ||

Generally i wouldnt worry too much about turning off your computer vs sleeping it a whole lot. Usually if somethings going to go wrong hardware-wise you'll run into it regardless of your power down routine. Personally i sleep my computer every night and only reboot it when updates require me to. | ||
