Depends on climate, etc, but it generally takes a while longer than that for paint to cure.  I usually allow a few days, just to be sure.

I just recently painted a computer case and I had some problems with the tape pulling off the other paint.

I agree. Maybe a single layer of coat would do fine after 24 hours, but you probably had multiple layers. I would suggest a good few days in a warm climate.

Well, the first two coats had about 2 weeks worth of drying time - the last two got about 24 hours each in 55-65 degree weather (inside an unheated garage).  All 4 coats came right off with the tape.
ChadTower:

Sounds like the first coat didn't bind, and if that happens, none of the rest will.  They'll bind to each other but not the object if the first coat will come right up.  What did you prime with and did the primer come up too?
