I'd heard the idea before that you damage electronics > > by turning it off and on. It's up to you really. I've got four computers +monitors running in my house. If I turn them off everynight before going to bed, and back on in the morning my electrcity bills average about a dollar more. Modern computers are so energy conservent anyways that turning a 60 watt light bulb off will save tons more energy. (It's also the same reason I highly recommend turning power saving bios options on... the saving is so negligable for the potential problems that it's not worth it...)
