Anyways.... A question for those who leave their computers on all the time?
Do you all leave your TV, DVD, HIFI, toaster, etc switched on 24/7.
Some things like VCR are in stand by mode as they have no "real" off switch, and I can't reach the plugs behind the TV.
I switch my TV, DVD, HiFi, off at the front (not into stand by) if I'm not going to be watching anything.

But ALL of my computer equipment gets shut down, and the powered off at the mains socket when I'm not using it.

ATX PCs don't have a power switch...
