Computers last longer if they're up 24/7.  The hardest time for the
hardware (esp. hard drives and fans) is startup, and the hardest time
for the CPU is shutdown (the fan stops, so heat is trapped near the
processor until it dissipates naturally).  Just about every hardware
failure I've ever had has been when bringing a machine back up after a
shutdown (planned or unplanned).
