The fire risk from a PC is relatively small. The biggest risk is from the
monitor, although that is less now that flat screens are becoming common.
I once had an old CRT monitor burst into flames in front of my eyes, that
plug got pulled out pretty quick..!!

My systems are usually on 24 hours, I just switch the screens off if I'm
going to be away for any length of time. The PC's themselves only get
switched off if I'm going way on holiday for more than 2 or 3 days.
