I have a different theory.
I have been told by Casino Tech's that when a S2000 Machine has been running for years & the power is turned off, they have had problems with the Power Supply going out?
I have found it easier to leave mine running 24/7.. The Room has lights going all night and may be a deterrent against Crime??  Don't really know. Just know what the County Sherrif said.
The money you save may not be worth the Price, in the long run.
Just my thoughts.

I can't tell you how many Trimline monitors we lost over the years just from powering down. Multiple recaps of the power supply. If is home owned yes turn if off when not in use, in a casino let it run until the CPU or something else goes out.

You did not loose them because they were powdered down the already existent problem only became apparent because the machine was power cycled yes the caps failed because they were on 24/7 and exposed to heat and over usage for a prolonged period of time. Home use environment is very difficult than casino usage. If a machine in home use has a new power supply and is only turned on when being used that power supply will last longer than if the machine is left on 24/7.

My recommendation is always base your decision on how much you use the machine. If your constantly going back to the machine leave it on because frequently power cycles can be bad. If the machine is going to be idle for a few hours or more turn it off.
