While in the midst of replacing my very first power supply since owning boxes dating back to 286's I'm asking the question: Should I leave the unit on all the time except when out of town or during that middle of the night thunderstorm?
I seem to recall the prevailing wisdom at one time was to leave it on as rebooting only wears on a power supply. Was this nonsense?
I usually run a backup in the middle of each night via Mozy but I could reschedule it for the evening when the unit is in use.
Thoughts welcomed.
