hi i was wondering if there is an option to have the computer turn itself off after (insert any given amount of time here, lets say 2 hours) of inactivity, thanks!
 
I'm not sure about sleep options, but you can go to Start > Control Panel > Power Options, and see if theres an option that does what you want.
 
Should you turn computers off?

I often just switch my monitors off and leave the PC running, is this good practice?
 
It really depends, is you computer doing any work? I edit and convert video alot so my computer is ALWAYS on. If you are not using your computer and its not performing any meaningful tasks for an extended period of time, then its best to keep your computer off.
 
You can also have the PC turn itself off via BIOS. That way, if the OS locks up, the machine can still sleep itself :)
