I might be wrong, but I thought that computers use surprisingly low amounts of electricity - less than most other appliances.
I've also heard that, like lightbulbs, the majority of max. stress on them comes during start up and shutdown.
A few years ago I read a story about a firehouse somewhere that had a lightbulb way up high on the ceiling that had been on for 45+ years. It was never turned off/on in that entire time, and the on/off process is what typically burns them out.
