I have been running Dell Vostro 1520 laptop for about 5 years practically non-stop without any issues. I have cleaned dust bunnies out the fan a couple of times. YMMV with other laptops.

Actually, not sure Tripp Lite makes great usps
but not sure about the isobar. If it's big or heavy, then
probably a UPS.

Well that could simply be the fact that they used substandard
capacitors and part for the ethernet, and as such it failed over
time.
manufactures consider laptops to be pretty disposable after 2-3
years,
any older and they tend to get squirrely.

That explains the fan but not the internet switch.

At one time this was very true, and in some ways it can still be
true. parts like the fans wear out, and due to the space
constraints
in a laptop this is more critical, and there are some thermal
considerations to think about as well. but as long as you
are giving
decent airflow around the laptop, and you are prepared to
swap a fan
sooner than later it should have no real impact on the hardware.
I run mine for work 9+ hours straight and the previous one i
had did
this for 4.4 years before it finally got weird enough to be
replaced.
I would most definitely enable power savings on your monitor
because
that screan can suffer from burnout, and its not as easy to
replace
as a monitor.

I read on another board that it was bad to leave a laptop on
24/7 Is
that so? If it is I guess that is why my laptop is having
problems!
