OT - Should I leave monitor turned on?

[George Savvas]

I undestand it's a good practice to leave a computer turned on in
order to retain a constant temperature level and thus avoiding
straining the parts with contraction/expansion. Is this the case for
both CPU (the box) and the monitor? Is it ok if I leave the computer
running a screen saver (seti@home for example) with the monitor turned
on?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Personally I would set the monitor to standby instead of "screensaver"
