Most computers feel better when continuously left on. The reason
is that the heat make the circuitry expand and contract, so you get
an exhaustion problem if you often turn the computer off and on.

Hard disks, on the other hand, should be left off, with the head
parked, if you think that somebody might bump or move the computer.
