No, not really.
Companys have the same computer regular people do, and they have computer running 24/7.
The only problem that could possibly occur is over heating. If you computer is in a tight space, and has no where to let heat escape, then I recommend moving it.
On the safe side, I would turn the computer off at night once in a while.
Also, if your computer has more then one fan in it, the chances of even getting close to overheating is second to none.

Some may argue that it is better to leave it on because of the extra power needed to start it all up again. Also computer hardware lasts longer if it is left on as opposed to being turned on and off.

Not really but it willl cost you a lot and it may over-heat a bit so I wouldn't leave it on all the time.
Having it on all day is OK but overnight I wouldn't leave it on.

defineitly.. think a situation where u make a horse run even though you feed it .. it needs soem rest or else it will burn out.. so please make sure that you keep your computer turned off.. whenever not in use.. this would really increase the life of the computer..
