That's a matter of preference really. Personally I always turn off my rigs at home when I'm done with them. At the store we leave most of ours on 24/7. We've done it for years with no issues. Our register must be left on as it does automatic backups to a tape drive every night. I'd set your monitors to standby after 20 minutes of inactivity so they power down. The PC I'd just leave running so it can do all it's automatic updates and whatnot (if it's online) I like to reboot it at least once a month just to make sure everything gets refreshed, free up any memory that isn't releasing, etc. Other than that it's important to keep the PC clean and dust free. Invest in some compressed air and take the side off the case once a month to blow the dust off of everything (if you have an easy to get into tower.) That should keep it in good condition no matter how you decide to run it. Dust is a PCs worse enemy.

Craig,

Leave em on and do maintenance items in the middle of the nite. Virus checks, disk checks, update the OS, backups, defrags, create restore points, etc. We also schedule a restart at 6 every morning.

My name is Brian Katz and I am the General Manager and founder of a family business based in Las Vegas, Nevada. Our business consists of the design, importation, distribution and retail of textiles which includes products such as rugs, fabrics and ready- made drapes. We currently operate twenty six stores from California to Florida and are expanding.

We are seeking a dynamic professional to direct our technology department who has a strength in RMS.

Can you provide some direction on where to find such an individual?

Thanks,

Brian
