Do you turn your fridge/freezer off when you go out or microwave, tv or satellite receiver. There's a very small risk with all electrical apparatus but protection to a degree has to be built in by law (unless it's dodgy goods). It would be a very rare occurence and a lot of members here don't know where the "off" switch is

They have them on 24/7 until it's time to build another computer.
