Well, everyone seems to agree that if I will be using the system within
another 24 hours to leave it on.  Okay, what about the monitor?  I
don't want to burn an image into the screen, but how badly is it affected
by being constantly turned on or turned off?  I mean, we don't have
screen savers for TVs and we don't tell people to "leave your TV on
because it might get damaged by the constant power ups".

So can I turn it on and off as I please or should I get a screen saver
too?
