That probably depends.  It's not unfrequent to find my machine broke
after someone has done 'maintenance'.

Its usually turning them on and off, heating and cooling the boards that
is hard on the computer, not leaving them on.  Leaving them off would
save some electricity.  But in the big picture of things,  the VP's are
probably spending more by making more work to maintain things than he'd
spend on part failures.  But I don't have firm proof.
