I'm terrible about this. Frankly I don't give a crap about the environmental effect of my 4 PC's left running all night in my computer room (if the ecosystem lives or dies on whether or not I shut my computers down at night then it's already doomed), but I am killing my electric bill for sure. I can't get my kids to turn theirs off before bed no matter how many times I ask, and when I'm working I sometimes don't even go in there for days at a time. They're those high end gamer cases too that are lit up like Xmas trees and loaded with case fans. My electric company sends me a nice Xmas card every year though..

Any modern PC has the ability to suspend to RAM or hibernate. You should configure windows to STR or hibernate after an hour or two without use.
