    How often do you shut down your computer?

    I hardly ever shut my computer off, it started to get slow so I am about to. Decided to look at how long it has been of for... 532 hours and 16 minutes. (>22 days) Holy shit didn't realize its been that long. Can anyone top me?

      My record is 5 weeks 3 days, but this new build likes to BSOD every few days for varying reasons.

      Edit: I just realized why your screenshot looked so familar haha.

                Laptop and PC in single photo. Still have the same background on the laptop (Lol).

                Laptop is only a couple years old. MSI GT720. Great little bitch. too bad the battery it toast.
                PC was a slow, random ass piece together over the while thing. AMD phenom II X2 545 core, unlocked to quad core "Phenom II X4 B45", overclocked a little (Not too much, just opened up the bus), MSI GTX460 Hawk (Overclocked something FIERCE, some DDR 2 ram (4 gigs of 1067??? I think?)

                It gets by as my gaming/server for the PS3. Handled everything I've thrown at it so far. Full resolution Supreme Commander 2 on dual screens is fucking insane. So here's where I'm sitting, as I type this (Old photo). The PC on the bottom right (One i'm on) now has an old gateway I plan on using as my Mach3 Box for the CNC, sitting on top of it, and some hartge shit in the corner, and on the wall above the right monitor.

                  I currently use a laptop as my main computer. I turn it off when ever I'm done using it or when I'm going to take it somewhere else. I see no reason to leave it running when I'm not using it.

                        I would assume not, you don't use it for everyday actions, other than serving whatever it is you host on it.
                        My pc is the PlayOn! And PS3 Media server, for my PS3.
                        My laptop just has no excuse for not being shut off. I just never do.....

                          I used to leave my desktop constantly running up until it crashed. Basically, because it never powered down to save, and the compilation of registry errors it developed a corrupt file in the system. Now I use my laptop and power down weekly.

                            I have auto on/off settings for my server/HTPC...

                            Saves the power and keeps wear down.
