Leaving the computer on for a few nights, yes it probably drains alot of energy but does it do any damage at all?
My system fan and graphics card probably only goes at full speed if theres a game such as UT2003 on but otherwise its quiet.. I'm not overclocking aswell.

Well, you are a stupid head. Actually, the "Anything wrong with this?" title is very good. You see, users will see it and be curious. "Anything wrong with what?" they will think, and then look inside the thread and possibly give a response, whereas someone who just see's the title that just says "Leaving PC on continuously..." will think, boring, monotonous and not give a response. Therefore, the title Sniper chose was the best he could have. Thanks.

It does depend on a variety of factors, has it been on 24/7 for those 4 years? Also more expensive mobos have generally highter quality capacitors. Voltage fluctuations although nearly completely taken out by the PSU are still present and have a bearing too.
Euripides has been running 24/7 for four years now...
You'll be fine, this PC has been running 24/7 since March.
Although it does slightly more damage than turning it on and off once a day, phase change in the processor and way more stress on the capacitors.
The key phrase being slightly more.. as in not much. But 24/7 running will blow the capacitors on your mobo in around 2 1/2 -3 years.
