Re: On or Off?
Every time you power cycle your computer, the capacitors charge and discharge, which wears them out a bit faster.
I generally turn my computer off if I won't be using it for an extended period (say, going away for the weekend or very busy after work the next day) and otherwise just turn off my monitor.

Re: On or Off?
Typically the turning off and on will result in thermal stress on components. A componenet may be able to safely run at 100 degrees C but if run up to 100 and cooled to 20 then back up many times you will get die bond fractures (the wires frames connected to the silicon semi conductor seperate)
Thermal cycling will kill any active component at least 10 times faster than a constant temperature. Easiest example, ever had a light bulb go out an hour after it was turned on? Its fails almost 100% of the time at turn on.
