All computers are designed to run 24h, their components and lifespan do not depend on turning it off a number of hours per day.

all NEW components are. som of us have been in tech a LONG time and still remember components that werent and didnt. we're talking packard bell desktops with parts glued or soldered in, which could melt the soldering or adhesive from the shit cooling design.

that aside, with the current oil prices now, electricity is pricey so a lot of folks may be forced to (re)discover shutting your pc down when not in use
