Well, I for one, run 3 linux machines at home on a network with a router NAT firewall (DSL connection) and leave all 3 on 24/7 365 days a year. I'm not worried about electricity, as I'd prefer the convienence of unlocking a screensaver and have instant access.
Me, on the other, I live where it is very warm in the summer, and I use a swamp cooler to cool the house. If I'm not using my computer, I shut it off. Helps keep the house cool.
I'm seriously thinking about getting a room air conditioner now that I have moved everything into the small bedroom turned office - that way when it is 106 outside and the swamp cooler just has no way to keep up, it still can be comfortable in the office - but even then, you bet they will be off when not in use, why pay to cool heat generated by what is not being used?
