Is leaving my 80286 on all the time good or bad for my computer?
I turn it on and off at least 10 or so times a day.
Is it better to just leave it on all the time?
It 's about 70-75 in my house so I'm not sure about overheating 
Also,what kind of power does it draw?
I have the board and a floppy hooked up now as well as a monitor.
Hard drive soon.
