[QUOTE="AlyciaAnimation, post: 666416, member: 49992"] This is kind of up to you. A lot of people here will tell you that they keep their Macs on for weeks and just put it to sleep. I like shutting mine down every couple days at least (I also have an intel iMac). Some things only get done when you shut down, like emptying the memory swap, which for me can get kind of big. And if I know I'm going to be gone all day, there's no sense in having my computer on. This is all up to you. There's no harm in putting it to sleep all the time, plenty of people do it. I don't think you'll have a problem covering it up. When it's in sleep it draws very little power and isn't doing anything intensive that will require ventilation. [/QUOTE]
