It's easy. When does a light bulb fail? When you turn it on. Why? All
those cold, low resistance circuits draw a lot of current at turn on, there
are mechanical as well as electrical stresses on all those junctions, to
say nothing of the trauma to capacitors.
The monitor is the power hungry beast in the configuration, but if you have
a "green" monitor and take advantage of all the power saving features, you
don't need to turn it off, it will do that by itself.

Subject: Leaving the computer on
Can anyone please tell me what the benefits are to
leaving your computers on at all time. I understand
that there are benefits, however, I would like to be
able to provide a more specific answer when other ask
me whether they should leave their system on. Thanks.
Oh....What about turning just the monitor on and off?
