How long do you keep your computer running for?

I shut it down a couple times a week. Other than that, hibernate.

My computer has been on for a couple of years... let alone the periodic restart due to windows updates. Still running as fast as I made it years ago.

I used to keep it on overnight but I moved it to my room and there's some blue led lights in it so I have to turn it off at night.
