Both. Only leave the PC always on if it is running at full load all the time.

It depends on what you do.

It would last extremely long if it is an office PC. BTW, even a P4 is still more than sufficient for an office PC.

However, it won't last as long if it is built for high end gaming and CAD purpose. Nevertheless, it should last for at least 3 years for these kinds of purpose.
