I never undestood why people think it is a good idea to keep their computer on all the time. I love my electronics too much to abuse them.

Quick note, as far as screen shots go, a big problem...how are many here going to see the benefits of a high end LCD when most of them are looking at it through a mediocre monitor?
Most of us don't spend thousands on a Monitor that is inches from our face, so comparing screen shots isn't really going to tell us much.
Still, I have thought of posting up because the brightness is very beneficial to Asteroids and I am truly amazed at the qulity which surpasses any CRT/LCD/Plasma/NTSC/Black and white/Green monocrhome monitor that I have ever owned.

The theory is that the hot/cold cycle is harder on them than the idle. I don't know if either argument has ever been proven, but the computer I use for a server has been on for roughly 5 years. The only time it gets shut off is when I'm working on it or if it's unplugged for wicked thunderstorms.
I do have the monitor go into standy, but the computer itself always runs.

A monitor though? I can't imagine that being good at all. It certaintly doesn't extend its life.
As for unbridled love to the internet, that is reason #1 for me not to keep the computer on. As for the hot/cold, I can see the point...but I still think a rest isn't bad for the computer.

In all of your tirads, I don't think you've mentioned a single fact. You've just spread false information and made it sound like fact. In all honesty, you're hurting the integrity of this board.
And please, tell me how I am absolutely wrong in every possible respect.
