Re turning off at night, I'm curious to know what proportion of users
leave their PCs powered on permanently, with drives spinning, as I do?
Apart from the arguable issue of which is best in terms of wear, and I
suppose the topical issue of energy-saving, I like to get all my
backups and defragging done when I'm not using the PC.

Same here. Even if/when I don't have anything like that scheduled, I
leave my system on 24x7. Always have. I only shut the monitor off.

There used to be heated arguments as to which was best for system
components - running 24x7 or shutting down - and neither side won
those arguments.
