it is ok I think
but don't do that too often if the hardware get too hot, your PC can be as slow as a snail but if you really have to do that, just make sure it is cool |

I would advise, though, that if you do it, to reboot at least once every two weeks... Else the system wil start running rather slowly.... >.<

It's better to turn off your computer... running ANYTHING long isnt good.
Example: If you stay awake all night and all day, you will be more likely to get sick. =) |

It is best for you to turn it off, although I don't think your comp will explode if you don't.

Yes, it's quite alright. I turn my computer off about once a month. I restart like once every 2 days. Just make sure you try to setup the power saving features. That will put your computer on standby after a specified amount of inactivity. Otherwise leaving your computer on will run up your power bill. Also, make sure your computer is in a well ventilated room, otherwise, the room can get pretty uncomfortable.
