It depends...
I always left my system on 24/7 except for occasional reboots (installs)
until last year. I had a power-supply fan stop working. I didn't realize
until the case became very hot <duh>. Replaced PS, but hard drive
erratic. Replaced hard drive. Still problems, figure it's the mobo.
Brand new system: turn off every night, haven't even put the side back on
so I can "monitor" the innards.

XP starts up quickly so no problem there.
I have two old systems, 166 MHz with NT4server, that have be up for months
and months and months that have never had any problems. I do leave the
monitors off until needed.
YMMV, Pat Osborne
