Man I don’t know. Enlighten me. Out of habit, I rarely turn mine off. Maybe every three months I do to take it apart to blow it out.

I did this with my first real desktop machine, I left it running 24 hours a day (along with the CRT monitor). It lasted a long time but the CRT got really dim after several years, due to the electron gun filament wearing out. I like modern hardware that isn't affected much by heat variation. No more CRTs or CFL monitors.
