Do you leave or computer on 24/7? (Should I)?

I leave it on 24/7, set monitor to power down after 30 minutes, same thing with the hard drives. My laptop is only on when I use it. I will set it to hibernate when I am done using it.

 

If you want a good antivirus then you need a corporate one. Home versions are not that good IMO.

+1 for leaves 'em on. One for the TV and one for my workstation. They are both relatively low power tho, between them they only draw 200w doing normal stuff. Its good to have temp sensitive fans, and the CPU throttling enabled, so that when youre not there it can idle nice and low. Otherwise, you will just end up vacuuming dust into your PC and wasting a lot of electricity to do it.
