| I turn it off when going to school. My computer's running 24 hours on weekends. |
| everyday i go sleep at 3-4 a.m .. because im watching movies on my PC and then i have auto-turn off when the movie is end.... |
| I am trying to remember to do it more. Mine is usually on 24 hours a day, but I let it hiberate or stand by sometimes and up security so it can rest. But I likeonly remember to do that once or twice a week. I guess thats not good for it.. |
 |
| i usually just turn it off at night before i go to bed |
| Everytime I wake up - my dad gets angry if I leave it on during the day. |

I used 2.2 MW·h last month.Now instead of 2-3MW per quarter, I'm using 500-600kW  How is that even possible unless you're running a smelting plant in your basement or something? 1MWh a month is rather heavy use but > 2 in a month? o.O Part of last month's power bill :D Seriously though, the biggest part of that is for the HVACs that keep the house nice and warm this time of year. :) For those still reading, for comparison, a typical ATX computer left on all month would consume around 150 kW·h. At the rate I pay, that would amount to roughly $9 US a month. |

| Maybe once a month. Maybe. |
| I'm back. |
| I leave it on 100% of the time, never actually shut down, maybe restart if nescessary. Been doing this for 3 years and it's fine O_o |
| My computer's only on when I'm using. I shut it down when I don't think I'll be using it for a few hours. I accidentally forgot to shut it down once, and found it on in the morning...that was probably the longest it's been on. |
| Off? What? Edit: Isaac$ uptime up 15 days, 14:05, 3 users, load averages: 0.54 0.83 0.47 ^Laptop Only get's restarted for software or turned off if i'm traveling somewhere. Desktop pretty much just stays on 24/7. Restarts for software and so on. |

| i usually shut down my laptop before i go to bed unless i plan on downloading something over night and leave it running all day |
First Sig built from scratch 2nd overall^^^ |
| It used to stay on for a week at a time, but now I try to turn it off every night unless I'm downloading something. |
| Yeah, despite the fact that I know better and should do otherwise, I keep this thing on for months at a time (unless I install something like drivers that require a restart). The laptop gets shut down regularly because I don't really use it much. |
| I turn my computer off every day before I go to bed. |
| It only goes off when the power does to my house and its 7 years old XD |
| I used to leave them on for months at a time, but lately I've been turning them off at night unless I'm downloading something. |
 |
| I leave it on only to download stuff overnight, which I don't do much, so it's pretty much off for the duration I don't use it. |
 |
| I never do |
| My laptop only goes to sleep. |
      |
| I usually only turn it of when I sleep. But it depends if I know that I gonna go away for a few hours I turn it off to. |
 |
| If restarting to install updates count, then once a week. Other then that, it's always on playing music. |

Iri said: Seriously though, the biggest part of that is for the HVACs that keep the house nice and warm this time of year. :) Oh, silly me. I forgot about people with electric heating and cooling. Yeah. That can clock up the watts pretty quickly, as most units start at 1kW and go upward to 2.4kW (or larger if they're dedicated systems on their own circuit). I have a wood fire, and only turn my AC on when it breaks 38C (a few times a year) so heating and cooling are fairly low in general. But then I don't live in a place that gets freezing or overly hot most of the time. |
| I usually keep it on all the time but I do turn it off rarely |
Neverender said: Uh, I left one of my computers on for like 6 months. I left my laptop on for 2 weeks recently. These days tho I just put my computer on standby if I'm not downloading anything so it makes less noise. Otherwise, I leave it running. 6 months without crashing? Wow.. My computer will blow lol. |

Yeah my friend's done the same thing with one of his desktops. You can like disable a whole bunch of crap so that it runs with the minimum required power. I used to leave my laptop on overnight to download anime and then turn it off + on the next day. Now I just turn it off when I go to bed. |
| I turn mine off whenever it crashes. ...which is basically all the time. So it's off more times than on xDDD But I also turn it off sometimes when I go to bed... mhmm. |

| Forever. It naturally reboots when it wants to. |

| I hardly ever turn a computer I'm using off. Because at night I'll leave torrents going. Crashes are restarts are what'll get a computer off for me. And even that won't last long. This laptop used to bluescreen all the time. Thankfully, I finally got it fixed. |

ukonkivi said: Crashes are restarts are what'll get a computer off for me. And even that won't last long. Thats basically how it is for me. I will leave this comp on all the time unless it crashes or has to reboot for software. |
| Everytime i go to sleep. |
| The only reason I turn my bedroom computer off is because the fans are kinda loud and it would be annoying to sleep through that. The downstairs desktop though... I don't think I've ever turned that one off. It's a 4 year old fighter that never sleeps. |
| When I'm going out or I'm going to bed I turn mine off. If I don't it get's angry at me lol |
| I turn my computer on straight away in the morning (except for school) so it's on all day. Turn off when I go to bed and and school. |
| Wait, they can be turned off? I thought their 2 main modes were "On" and "Downloading". :P |

| I shut my laptop and desktop off whenever I finish using them for the day. I never shut down my work desktop, but will restart it when updates need to be installed. |

| um........I turn mine off once a month, or when I think it's been abused too much from streaming and download. ^^* My school labtop on the other hand........never or at least until it dies from lack of battery. XD |

| I turn my PC off every day, occasionally I keep it on for a day or 3. The longest time I kept a computer on was with a server, around 4 months. But that's common. |
| I always turn off "the" computer when I go to bed, and turn it back on when I wake up. |

Miyako-chan said: Baby_Naruto said: I always turn off "the" computer when I go to bed, and turn it back on when I wake up. same, but over work days it's turned off also during the day because i'm at work I turn it off when I go to bed so my mother's electricity bill doesnt skyrocket. By the way, I say "the computer" instead of "my computer" because it is not mine, it is my mom's. I don't have my own computer sadly :(. |

| I never have to. CPU Water cooled. North bridge water cooled, and both GPUs are using a custom water block, and my ram is using a water block as well. No need to shut it down if the temp for my parts usually stays under 32C. |
