I leave my office computer on all the time, but I turn my home PC's off at night when I go to bed. Not sure why I do it this way. Maybe for the same reason I turn the lights out when I leave a room. I pay the electric bill at home but it's included in the rent at work.
My home PC's are 4-5 years old and I have only had to replace a power supply in one of them. Not sure if that was related to turning it on and off every though.
