I was wanting to know how much does it cost to leave you computer on 24/7. I play a game runescape.. and leave my computer on so they can train. Im new here... thanks.

that would depend on how much you pay for electricty, wouldn't it? And that is variable

A rough number, though based on numbers I read a couple years back:
computer only...about $40 a year
with monitor on, add $60 a year

can someone else give me their opinion

I like your name Mr. 1337. :-/

It's not really an opinion is it.. you need to find out how much power your computer consumes in kWh (kilowatt-hours), as this is how your power company usually charges you for electricity.

This is an interesting thread on another forum. Keep in mind that this guy uses Folding@Home (maxes out his CPU the whole time), and that CRT monitors have much higher levels of power consumption than LCD monitors.
If you have a laptop, again, power consumption could be significantly reduced.

I think it varies too much to say really. Here is some more info from a simple Google search:

Hope that helps you out.
