That is old fashioned. We have hibernate and standby features now in modern computers and they can cut down the power consumption to less than 5 watts.
Mine is on all the time. I do reboot it once in a while just to clean up the registry. It will be nice when Microsoft ditches the registry and goes with Linux as the base operating system. That's what Apple did with the iMac and they have no problems.
I use a laptop and for several hours once a day to surf the web and watch movies and leave it turned off the rest of the time.
