The answer is YES if:
- You do not pay the electric bill
- You have a well ventilated environment
- The inside of your PC is neat to ensure good ventilation
- Your PC has a good power supply to ensure stable power to the PC's components
- Make sure to set your monitor, Hard disk to turn off after a soecific unused time. If you want,put the computer in sleep mode after 1 hour or so...

No! Turn it off when you sleep.
The constant spinning of the fan will not only wear out the computer faster, it will draw in dust and particles that ruin the computer from the inside out.
However, if your monitor has a sleep mode that saves energy and power and you live in a high-humidity area you should leave that part of your computer on. The humidiy can effect the monitor and leaving it in sleep mode will help it to last longer.

I only turn off the computer when an electrical storm is forecast. Otherwise it has been on 24/7 for almost three years now. That is what the techie in my husband's office said was best for the computer.

No not at all and it wastes energy, plus it could get a virus or somebody could hack into it when you're not on it..
