As long as you make sure your HDD, monitor, and what not all shut off after a period of inactivity (I usually do 10 minutes on HDD, 5 on monitor) and have a system standby or hibernate set for after say a half hour, you're fine. Of course, thats assuming you don't leave them all on to RUN things like I do, in which case you want them to have NO power saving setups.
And FYI, that 486DX is COMPLETELY ORIGINAL except I ADDED a T-Base10 NIC to it. Sure, you couldn't do that with modern components because the quality just isn't there anymore. But I can take current stuff and get 5 years or so of constant running out of it. With a 2 years swing either way. So, bite me. Leave your stuff on at least from the first time you get up in morning until you go to bed. And if you only sleep 4-6 hours like me, may as well leave it on ALL the time.
