How often you turn the power supply off and on doesn't make a big
differences, as long as you don't turn it off and on exceedingly.
Turning it off and on exceedingly might harm the electrolytic
capacitors more than continuous running. Fans and optocouplers might
suffer more from continuous running than other parts, assuming that a
computer power supply doesn't contain predetermined breaking points,
such as voltage undersized capacitors. However, for a well designed
switching power supply there shouldn't be a foreseeable different
lifespan between turning it off and on everyday or running it 24/7.
