Do you shutdown or sleep? Why?

[KinCryos]

shutdown, because it doubles as a space heater, which is a big problem in the summer

 

[dgoodman]

Hibernate when I go to bed, on any other time.

 

[DJ Über Space Whale!]

Shut down

 

[THEK]

Neither. I don't shut it down in because there's a possibility of it not coming back. I cannot sleep it as it's a Server OS.

 

[THEK]

Shut down

Disagree all you like, I've got the many weekends and the log of bare metal recoveries to prove it. And of course Sleep not actually being in the start menu.

 

[Staying_Classy]

Shut down because money.

 

[plz_do_not_showmyemployer]

Turned off because when my mom cleans my room she unplugs it from the socket if she hears it on and I'm not home

 

[Dave the Manly]

Neither. I dislike closing out of Steam chats under any condition because it doesn't keep a history.
Money isn't an issue. I make enough and haven't got too many other reasons to spend it.

I shut it down unless I leave for less then 4 hours, mainly for the electricity cost, plus I don't want to strain it too much, it already heats up too much.

Thats bad for it

 

[Morbuzka]

Man, I run a laptop, forget both of those, when I get home, I need this thing to be ready because it is about to go from 50C to 75C in less than 3 minutes when I start multi-tasking! >: D But that was when I had Vista, now I have 7.... my computer laughs at me now... I leave my computer on, to answer the question properly.

 

[HowIMetYourMother]

always put it on sleep, but i do take it out of power..but it last at least a day so..by then i'm gaming already
only problem: if i haven't shut down in a while, all sorts of random programs will slow me down:(

 

[jimmy the unrustled one]

Shutdown because it turns on quick and wastes less energy

 

[P Lash]

Shutdown, because of power cuts.
Sleep wastes electricity.

 

[Very Elegant]

I leave everything on

I don't pay the bills.

 

[flanky]

I can't put my computer to sleep, it had to much caffeine. I have to beat it to sleep every night.

 

[xKINGMOBx]

I always left my desktops on 24/7, monthly shutdown if it wasn't forced. My newest laptop, though, it's a beauty with on board video AND a video card on top of that. This pairing is good for TF2 but really bad for overheating so I turn it off even if I'll be away from it for 4 hours. Only time it gets left on when Im away from it is if I have something taking ages to download, but my 70MB fibreOp makes that a rare event.

Same. If I leave it on during the summer, my room gets way too warm. I like to leave it on during the cold nights though.
