Uh.. Other then restarting I have had whatever my newest desktop is on for about 7 years. 5 Years for old comp and 2 for newest.

Unless restarting counts as shutting it off in which case I probably average about a month between restarts.

Only hardware problem I have had hard drive failure and it was a Raptor after three years of being on 24/7. Raptors are known to have a pretty high failure rate so nothing surprising there.

wait, if you have it on all night and day, should you put it to standby mode or something when you don't use it?
I'm taking whatever coverage I can get, because frankly, I'm busy working on this million dollar deal at my job. Early retirement is a good thing brotha man. - MessengerASL

Unless the computer is used as a server or has time-consuming operations or downloads running over night which can't be run during the day, I don't understand why it should run all the time. I hope the reason isn't lazyness. Even an idling PC will probably consume around 150-200W, and over night that's a lot.

Not to mention killing your fan and harddrive.

I turn off my computer when I'm done using it. I guess lots of people here are running torrents 24/7 or something.

Modern hard drives are made to be able to run 24/7. A cold boot is much harder on the drive than leaving it on, but I imagine the difference in shutdown + startup vs leaving it on for the extra 8 hrs is negligible.

Also fan blades can't collect much dust if they're always spinning, :p but I imagine it does shorten their lives. I've never had a fan die, but I tend to buy high quality ones and usually undervolt them.
