should i leave my arcade machine running all the time?

RayB:
Personally I never leave my PC on unless I'm "actively using it" due to the fan noise.

Ken Layton:
I say turn off when not in use.

ChadTower:

Vids - turn off when not in use.  Little risk of much happening even if you turn it on and off all the time.

Pins - the threshhold gets higher... so many more electronic points of failure on startup that it's better to power cycle it less than a vid.

I say you should be playing your arcade machine all the time.

But then again, I say a lot of things, and most of them are dumb . . .

If it were mine, I'd shut it off if not needed for more than a few hours.

ahofle:
I never really understood why people leave their PCs on all the time (unless they are servers obviously) for fear of them 'wearing out faster'.  Do they leave all the lights on in the house 24x7 to extend the life of the lightbulbs too?
