	You shouldn't have any major problems with leaving it on all the time,
except maybe a heat problem because you have so many of your slots filled.  If
the 24 hour stints aren't going to last long - no big deal, but if you intend
to leave it that way for the rest of its life, it might be wise to invest in
one of the many Apple fans on the market, or perhaps a small muffin fan.  I hope
this helps
