It's estimated that shutting off your computer (and monitor, obviously) when you leave the house to go to work and especially overnight can save you over $200+ a year on electricity bills.

And it's a myth that's been debunked that shutting off computers shortens their life span.

Computer parts have advanced to the point where your computer will be LONG obsolete way before the cooling and heating/expanding and contracting effect of powering it on or off would begin to impact performance or damage it.

So go ahead and shut it off. Save some energy, money and help the environment.
