Any thoughts on whether sleep-mode or powering-off makes a difference in how long components last ... I'm afraid I killed my previous build with constant wake/sleep cycles. Might have been gremlins.
I think sleep mode is overrated. I disable it on any desktop I use, and I rarely shut my computer down. PC components these days are ~hardy~ and it's very unlikely you're going to run a CPU to death.
