letting the computer on for days in a row = expensive electricity bills
imagine the $ u can save, as well as how much u can help earth if you consume less electricity.
The computer doesn't consume that much electricity. Your TV probably consumes more. And your Air Conditioner, Washing Machine, and Water Heater units are even worse.
I tend to hibernate my notebook when not using, and keep it on as long as i need to when I am doing work. There is no rule to say 2 hrs must shut down. That sounds like 20 years ago.

If I am d/ling, I leave it on overnight till 6 in the morning, my task scheduler will shut it down for me. Its usually off in the day, so technically, its less than 12 hours on every day.

Keeping the computer on 24/7 will not spoil it. I have computers (normal PC) on like 24/7 for years and they are still functioning.
Oh cool... but still, paying hundreds to thousand of dollars for a new PC is still money, so let's save wherever possible....
