turning off computor
I think you'll see about a 50-50 split for/against.
If you tweak your power settings properly, you can put the machine to sleep with little wasted energy. Some say that the powering up/off causes the most strain to the various components.

turning off computor
That is like the old question, which came first, the chicken or the egg?
There are arguments for each side. My only input is concerning the environment the computer lives in. If it is subjected to smoke or fumes, the off time is that much less time the fans have to pull contaminants into the computer. For instance, one that is in an industrial environment as apposed to one that is in a non smoking office. In your home, the possibility of fire should be considered. I have seen them catch fire.
