[QUOTE="brianwmay, post: 668330, member: 51013"] Personally, I often leave it on 24/7 but as I fly for a living (and it comes with me) inevitably it gets turned off. I often leave it downloading binary files, whilst it IS warm it's never TOO warm and you are seeing the beauty of a metal shell (when attached to a wall it gets called a radiator). I have absolutely no fears whatsoever about leaving it running. I think I have heard the fan running (just) but it's not an issue. I found that when I switched, I was trying to FIND things to worry about (to get me to the same level of paranoia that I had with my PC). Not saying you are, but these things just seem to get on with it. Relax and enjoy it. The only reason I cycle the power if I don't have to, is some sense of wanting the machine to set itself 'back to square one' as it were and not because the machine is showing any signs of distress. Enjoy! [/QUOTE]
