Do you leave it on when you're not even playing. Like when you're sleeping and you're not playing it. Do you leave it on or turn it off and why?

My dad is a huge energy-saving freak. He gets mad at me for leaving the god damn power bar on.

[quote] Wrecked : No, that's just a waste of power. [/quote] Pros about keeping computers on: It was proven that shutting down computers wastes more energy than leaving it on. And its much faster than turning the comp and use it. Cons about keeping computers on: Your wasting a whole lot more energy when its on and your not using it, and its much slower when you have to turn your whole comp on.

Sadly, last option. I wouldn't turn it off if I had a comupter.

My computer hasn't been fully turned off in over 4 years. The only type of "off" my computer recognizes is restarting.

[/quote] I'm pretty sure the pro part is proven as a myth/false rumor. On topic, I always leave the computer off when I go to sleep because it's a waste of electricity if I leave the computer on when no one is using the computer.

I used to but I'm trying to cut the energy bill and be more eco-friendly now.

I just close the laptop lid and it sleeps. Then I don't have to wait for it to start up and stuff; I'm pretty impatient.

I let it sleep. It takes a few minutes to turn it back on, and I'm not the most patient person.

I keep it on and just close it and let it sleep. It's actually better if you do that.

I leave it on during the day. I turn it off when I go to sleep, unless my parents are out for the weekend... then I just leave it.

[quote] lupefiasco : I play tv shows when I go to sleep, and when im out I'm often downloading. So its rarely off. [/quote] Same. I use winamp to watch/listen to things while I sleep.
