Don't cut the power QUESTION Here's my system:
How long should I leave my computer on before turning it off? --Meflux ANSWER If you have a bad power situation, such as brown-outs or surges, you will want to make sure that you've got a decent UPS (uninterruptable power supply) installed. Personally, I live outside of Boston, and I've never used a UPS. Call me crazy, but I haven't had any weird computer problems. I suppose I'm blessed with good power, and my 300 Watt power supply doesn't hurt either. You can consider whether to use power-saving features such as turning your monitor or hard drive off after not using your computer for a while. I disable all that junk and just shut my monitor off at night, but I admit I'm a fanatic. Some even claim that leaving your computer on indefinitely gives you a longer life to your components, as they don't have to be jarred every day by going from 0 power to having power run through them.
