Just a couple of suggestions,

1. I can always tell from the pc's that I repair, which ones are left on 
and which ones get turned off everynight. The ones that run all the 
time, run better and have less hardware issues. I never shut my pc off, 
ever.
2. If you have a dual boot, leaving the pc running at the kdm or gdm 
login screen should be as much protection for the pc as turning it off.
3. The electricity used for the pc itself is little more than a light bulb.

just my .02. ;)
