Surface mount tin can capacitors have a rating in x1000 hours powered on, so keeping a machine running 24/7 will make those parts die sooner.

Turning a computer on and off 50 times a day might shorten its life a little.

I would think powering the computer on when you need it and shutting it down at night or when you are going out for a while is the best thing to do.
